Outwardly extending support members are integrally joined to a reinforced concrete hull of a swimming pool. Peripheral deck slabs rest on the support members preventing deck pivoting due to earth settlement. The support members engage the sidewalls of the pool at a depth sufficiently below the water level such that water pressure provides a significant counteracting force to the sidewall in the area of greatest stress. Joints between adjacent deck slabs are formed above the support members so that each deck slab is at least supported at its opposite ends.
