Thinking of installing a backyard pool? There are so many beautiful options available. When choosing the shape of a swimming pool several factors should be considered, including the area where the pool will be built, the main use for the pool and the number of regular swimmers.
There are a variety of shapes to consider, also. Some people select a completely custom shape. You’ll also want to consider the architecture of your home and select a shape that complements its style, and works well with the landscaping. If your swimming pool is placed a distance from your home, you can look at more freeform shapes.
Here are some of the more classic shapes to consider:
- Rectangle: More formal and one of the longer-running pool designs, this shape is ideals for lap swimmers.
- Kidney: Tends to look more natural, is conducive to having a shallow and a deep end, and can fit in to nearly any backyard space.
- Figure 8: Great choice for families who want a multi-use pool with a shallow and a deep end.
- L shape: A great option for those who want a pool with the primary use to be for swimming laps while still providing a shallow area for young swimmers.
- Free-form: Can take on any shape. Allows you to more readily work with existing landscape or architecture. Maybe a swimming pool that displays your creativity?
