Can you repair a crack three feet long in a fiberglass pool with the water still in the pool?
no

Yes it will crack. I think any and all concrete will crack. Maybe not enough to leak water but hairline cracks. Coat your pool with good waterproof sealant if leaks start.
Is there anyway to temporarily repair cracks on fiberglass pool steps with water still in the pool?
If your crack is losing water, chewing gum works well (seriously), it will adhere under the water, and flexes with the crack when bathers put their weight on the step, then the chewing gum will reseal itself until you are able to repair the crack properly. Underwater epoxy can also be used, but gum is cheaper, and flexes whereby the underwater epoxy hardens and doesn't flex. Pool StepSpecialists.com has kits for fiberglass pool steps. Remember to chew the gum first, then push it into the crack(s)
How do you stop groundwater from leaking in through a hairline crack that needs repaired?
The best way I can think of is to dig a hole along the outside of the pool until you get below the hairline crack Then use a pump to drain the ground water until the damaged section has been repaired. Make the hole deep enough to put the whole pump and automatic float switch in that way when the water build up the pump will automatically drain the water when it becomes too high.

What do you use to patch a hairline crack on the bottom of a cement pool that is still weeping water if you paint over it with super epoxy two-part paint?
here's a few more pennies... The glue preferred by pool pros for this application is Mr. Sticky's Underwater Glue. It is sticky underwater, does not become brittle, easy to work with. you can find it at mrstickys.com Well here is my 2 cents worth, I am not in the pool repair business but my pool, when it was repaired (vinyl) , The repair crew used the de-watering lines that were used to install my pool, If you have them on yours is a guess, as I do not know how high your water table is, but if they are there they should have been cut off below grade and capped in case they are needed for future problems like this, The pool company thet installed your pool, if known, should know where they are located, I hope this is of some help.

Pool Repair?
Many pools have vinyl liners. As the pool ages, the vinyl liner will oftentimes become cracked. These cracks cause water to drain out of the pool, which can result in greater damage. One should never fail to repair this type of leak. The best way to repair this is to patch the crack or hole with a patch kit. These patch kits can be bought both in stores and online. There are different types of patch kits, some of which are meant to be used above water and some below the water. This type of pool repair is relatively simple.

Can a crack in the plaster of a gunite pool be repaired and if so how effective will the fix be?
I general, the answer is yes. It the crack comes from the pool moving, and the gunite has cracked, then the gunite has to be repaired before the plaster. Sometimes opening up the gunite crack and refilling with concrete will answer the problem. If movement of the soil is the problem then that has to be fixed first.The soil getting excessivly wet and dry can mean that the pool will move, if it is only part of the pool then there will be a structuaral crack. Only opening up the crack will tell you whether it is a plaster crack or a gunite crack. A replaster is from about $2000 up and structuaral repairs from about $1000
