What Shape is Best for my Swimming Pool?

What’s a dream house without a pool? Incomplete. 

The time has come where you have came to your senses and finally decided on investing in an in-ground swimming pool. The pool will take care of you on those hot days here in Charlotte, NC and will give your family and guests something to do. Before the digging begins, designs need to be made. One of the biggest parts of the design you may ask? Shape of pool. Let’s take a look at the two most popular ways to go about this:

Rectangular

For starters, we have your traditional rectangular pool. This shape is timeless and can provide a variety of benefits. A rectangular pool is more apt for those daily swimmers who like to enjoy their time swimming laps. This may be deemed better than a lap pool because it provides the space to do laps, but also space for activities with the kids. On top of that, it works well in backyards that have a more geometric landscape surrounding it.

Freeform

Freeform pools are perfect for those who like to color outside the lines and be a little bit non traditional. There’s no specific shape when it comes to designing. It depends on what you want and what your contractor can do for you. This shape is ideal for more natural landscapes and can implement other water features with the design such as waterfalls. This may give a very cozy and natural feel to your backyard oasis.
