Pool Types
Family Pools
Multi-purpose pools designed around safety, play space and comfort for swimmers of all ages.
Family pools are designed as an all-purpose backyard amenity: a shallow zone for young children and casual play, comfortable depths for supervised swimming, and enough open water for games. Safety features and durable, easy-care finishes are typically prioritized alongside aesthetics.
Main Features
- Graduated depth zones from shallow to swim depth
- Optional sun shelf / tanning ledge for young children
- Durable, slip-resistant decking and finishes
- Room for games and general-purpose play
Ideal Use
Households with children, or anyone who wants a pool built for everyday, multi-generational use.
Design Considerations
- Shallow-water safety ledges and gradual depth transitions
- Fencing, alarms and safety covers should be planned alongside the pool
- Slip-resistant decking materials in high-traffic zones
Maintenance Considerations
- Higher bather loads mean more frequent water testing
- Safety equipment (covers, alarms, fencing) should be checked regularly
