Is it true that an inground pool may 'pop up' out of the ground when drained?

Yes it is true. if you empty a pool and the ground-water level is high enough, the pool turns from being a 'pool', to being a 'boat'. I have personally witnessed the event. A 45ft concrete (gunite) pool while being emptied, with the discharge water being pumped out close to the pool - and whammo!!. It was like the second coming of Christ!. A huge noise, and the pool reared itself out of the ground. We were inside the house and heard the noise and only knew what happened when we looked outside and saw the pool angled out of the ground, 4 ft higher at one end than it started out at.

What are the pros and cons of an inground pool compared to an above ground pool?
An above-ground pool is easier to maintain, mostly because of their size. They can also be moved from their original location and relocated someplace else, if at sometime you decided you didn't want it anymore. In-ground pools, in most cases, increase the value of your home, as well as created buyer appeal, if you decided to sell. In-grounds are considerable more expensive, but once you got it...you got it. Same is true for most above grounds. They are very well made these days as opposed to twenty years ago, when an above ground pool may last a year or twenty years, according to what type you bought.
Can you drain a fiberglass in ground swimming pool?
No!!! Under no circumstances should you drain a fiberglass in-ground pool. Unlike the standard in-ground pool, the fiberglass pool base is unreinforced concrete or other hard surface material that was applied directly to the soil in a thin layer. It is only there to allow the fiberglass to be sprayed on and form a hard shell. The weight of the water is what holds the fiberglass in place. If you drain the pool without refilling it immediately, you will allow external ground pressures and/or ground water to buckle the sides or bottom and you will have the fiberglass completely redone.
