Just like anything else, swimming pools come in all different types, designs, sizes, shapes and are used for various purposes. Budget, lot size, local codes and availability of materials will all factor in to what type of pool you will eventually decide to build or install on your property. Before taking the plunge, assess what type of swimming pool works for you and your family. Ready to take a tour?
Above-Ground Pool
Above-ground pools have often been the symbol of attainable pool ownership for the working or lower middle class.
- Lets homeowners get their pool-feet wet in a less costly, more portable type of swimming pool.
- That portability allows you to take the pool with you, should you move.
- Easier to work with certain types of land, including rocky areas.
- A deck can be added later to an above-ground pool, and you’ll still come out cheaper than an in-ground model.
Architectural Pool
An architectural pool must have structure, definite lines and often echoes the form of the house and uses the same materials for a cohesive look. An architectural pool is often geometric, sophisticated, and is usually designed by an architect. If the house is custom-built, the pool is often built at the same time as the house, taking in size of the lot and the layout and relationship of the house to the pool.

Indoor Pool
An indoor swimming pool is pretty straightforward — it’s inside, under a roof and insulated by at least three walls. Indoor pools are usually simple, geometric shapes and are built for the purpose of swimming or training throughout the year, especially in cold climates. The cost for heating indoor pools is lower than outdoor pools because the pool room is insulated and it’s less likely that heat will escape, as it does outside.
Infinity Pool
Infinity pools are also known as infinity edge pools, vanishing edge pools, negative edge, zero edge, or disappearing edge. Infinity pools are always custom-built and should be designed to highlight a view. Done right, an infinity pool gives one an illusion of a sheet of water dropping off over the edge of the property, like a waterfall, although you can’t see or hear falling water. Definitely on the more expensive end of residential swimming pools.
Kiddie Pool
It have long been an attainable, affordable part of everyone. And you definitely can’t knock that.Just make sure you drain the pool after each use (water the lawn) and keep an undistracted eye on the kiddies at all times.
Plunge Pool
Plunge pools are small,cold water pools that have been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine and were also popular with the Ancient Romans. Many swimmers and athletes like to plunge into a pool of cold water after a heated workout or sauna or spa session, believing it has therapeutic benefits.Plunge pools can be separate or attached to a larger in-ground pool.
Spool
Blending the words spa and pool, you get a spool. Since the Recession, pool builders have seen a rise in homeowner requests for custom-built spools. Many people have downsized, and their smaller lots can’t accommodate a larger pool. Some like it for relaxation and entertaining, using it more as a lukewarm-to-cool small pool in which to soak doloremque
