Use Permiculite as opposed to any of the above. Perlite is basically the same as verlite. It's troweled in the same manner, only cheaper.

What types of natural stone are best to clad an inground swimming pool with?
I have heard that Granite is the best for inground concrete pools, if it is constantly submerged, as it is hardly or not at all porous, which keeps it from collecting debris or cultivating the growth of algae, also does not hold water like a sponge that other more porous rocks may do. Sandstone I've heard is ok for waterfall type rocks, not sure on that though.
Are concrete or steel walls better for an inground swimming pool?
Steel walls are currently the lowest quality wall for a swimming pool, with the exception of Cyprus wood (if still available). Concrete (not gunite) is superior to any other wall, but a pool with concrete walls generally also has a concrete bottom. In other words, it is a concrete swimming pool. The most popular wall today for vinyl liner pools is fiberglass and, with the possible exception of concrete, is the best possible choice.

How long must concrete dry before it rains on it?
First of all, concrete does not "dry" to become hard. It cures, which is a chemical interaction between its water and its portland cement. Usually, a couple of hours is plenty of time for concrete to 'set' enough to not be damaged by rain. The best and strongest concrete never dries out for the first 28 days from pouring it.
