You need to make sure that it doesn't leak!  Similar construction techniques to a domestic swimming pool.If an overhead hoist is to be included, you need to ensure that its supporting elements are properly constructed, and structurally sound. Also, "wet locations" codes (regulations) apply to electrical supplies, hoists, etc., etc.
If you don't inspect ... don't expect.

If it's not on the ground floor, I would think the weight would have a significant bearing also.

Had 2 hydrotherapy pools planned for construction next year. Plans changed and now we will have 2 Jacuzzi's, 2 underwater treadmills and 2 anti-gravity treadmills instead.

Not a particularly wise* choice, in my opinion. I wonder what's underneath, on the second - and ground - floors. And Huw is right ... all that water has massive load bearing implications. Sounds like you need to get a Structural Engineer involved. How large a pool are we talking about here ... full size?  * AKA, "an accident waiting to happen".

Not too big, then ... but still 30 tonnes of water!

" Sounds like you need to get a Structural Engineer involved." Sounds like? I would think that was an absolute certainty !! Could be in the running for "understatement of the year" there Geoff
