    I'm sorry, I really don't have any answers for you - you may want to contact a fiberglass pool dealer - like San Juan or Waterworld - they may be able to tell you if the pool would be able to be repaired. At least they will know what is possible, and can direct you on your best options.

    I agree with mbar. You should try to contact a fiberglass pool mfg. FG is gaining popularity all over the country, so there must be someone nearby that could advise you.
    When I put my pool in, I sunk a 10" wide by 8' rigid pipe along and under the deep end of the pool. That way I can pump some of the groundwater away from the pool if I ever need to drain & service it. Your pool may or may not have such a drain. In any case you will have to remove the pressure from the outside of the pool before you can make a repair inside. Not exactly sure how to do it, but it may involve breaking part of the patio and removing the soil around the area where the problem started.

    I agree with both posts above..
    contact a fiberglass pool manufacturer.

    I know with fibreglass boats; they can be repaired with gapeing holes in them...
    but that's apples & oranges ( sorry)
