I can't say that I know much about building a swimming grotto, but I did manage pools for a while when I was younger. Personally, after having done all the maintenence on a large pool I would never want to own one. However, if you have enough money to afford a place where one would fit in, you can probably pay to have someone take care of it too.
I would really think long and hard about it though. How often will you uses it? Will you be entertaining guests often? will one really look good in a normal sized back yard? etc. Once you have decided to do it you will definitely need an architecht, or some sort of pool company that does cu$tom job$. I would shy from trying to do much of the work yourself. It is going cost one hell of a lot to put just a normal pool in, sowhy cut corners and run the risk of part of it looking like crap. Go all the way if you are going to do it.
IMHO I think a grotto style hot tub would be a better investment. Certainly easier to maintain, will fit into a smaller back yard, and will probably get more use. Unless of course you are pulling off a true playboy lifestyle. In which case you need to invite me over!
