If you have an in ground pool, in freezing weather, make sure you leave your on pump constantly to circulate the water, if not you could have damage to your pump, and breaking water pipes. The water might freeze on top of the pool, but underneath the water should still be circulating, if not find something to break the ice on top. Freezing pool water is normal. Unfortunately, dented sides and losing sand are not. You probably have a leak that is squirting the sand out, and sucking in the sides. or the cove failed. Either way, if it was professionally installed, they screwed up. I heard that if you filled about 5-6 liter bottles half way with sand and placed in your pool, the pool water would not freeze due to the bottles floating around and constantly breaking up the water so as not to freeze.

Why should you disassemble an above ground pool during winter?
Not all above ground pools have to be disassembled during winter, although it is a good idea to drain them. Water expands when it freezes, and if the water is trapped in a closed container or in a crack, the expansion can break the container or the material surrounding it. Pipes often break, when water inside them freezes.

Yes, you can freeze a pool, but it's not advisable for maintaining the pool's structure and equipment. When water freezes, it expands, which can cause damage to the pool walls, plumbing, and filtration systems. If you live in a region with freezing temperatures, it's better to winterize the pool properly by lowering the water level, adding antifreeze, and covering it to prevent ice formation.
Why Pool covers have been developed?
Couple reasons. For one, it keeps debris out of the pool. It prevents people and animals from getting into the pool when they're not supposed to be. And they help the pool retain heat, which is important in the Winter time especially, as water expands when it freezes, and can cause damage to the concrete lining the pool.
