According to embodiments described in the specification, a pump system is provided for use in a body of fluid having a shore. The pump system includes: a pump support; and a discharge pipe coupled to the pump support at a first end and to the shore at a second end, the discharge pipe including at least one segment of a first material and at least one segment of a second material, and having an expanded position for increasing a distance between the first and second ends, and a collapsed position for reducing the distance between the first and second ends. The discharge pipe is configured for accommodating lateral forces applied to the pump system by transitioning between the expanded and collapsed positions in response to the lateral forces.
