I have done a few pools on the coast (Florida). ASCE24 walks through a lot of what is needed. Zone A is kind of weird because on the coast there is the LiMWA line. If the pool is seaward of this line than it is classified as Coastal A. In the ASCE24 it is divided into basically V zones, Coastal...
Just talked to the Architect and that is what he wants to do. I would like to do the Masonry as you have suggested BAretired but I think there might be an issue with availability of 10" block. I have always had problems with it. I guess I'll tell the Contractor good luck.

Hey guys,
