14. July 2025.

Designing a swimming pool requires careful consideration of various factors that affect the final result. From the type and shape of the pool to the choice of materials, each step requires careful planning to ensure a long-lasting and functional pool.

Types of pools

When designing a pool, the first decision that needs to be made is choosing the type of pool. The most common options include:

Concrete pools

Concrete pools are known for their durability and flexibility in design. They allow for different shapes and sizes, as well as the addition of additional elements such as water attractions and lighting. In addition, they have a long service life. You can find more information about concrete pools on our page about concrete pools.

Hydromassage pools

Hydromassage pools, popularly known as Swim spas, provide a luxurious experience with advanced massage jet technology. In addition to enabling relaxation, they are often used for therapeutic purposes. We offer a variety of hot tubs and Swim spas that will satisfy the most demanding clients. Hydromassage tubs and pools increase the value of your home and ensure a real wellness experience in the privacy of your own space. In addition, maintaining the hot tubs and Swim spas is easy with our range of accessories.

Pool shapes and design

The shape of the pool has a key influence on its functionality and aesthetics. The most popular forms include:

  • Rectangular: Easy to swim, ideal for sports and recreation.
  • Oval or circular: A more open design that often looks more natural in gardens.
  • Free forms: They provide maximum creativity and can be adapted to specific needs and environment.
  • Other factors to consider

Location in the yard

The location of the pool in your yard will be key to its practicality and aesthetics. It is recommended to choose a position that makes the best use of natural light and allows privacy, while also providing easy access and gathering of family and friends.

Maintenance

Maintenance is key to the longevity of the pool. Using pool chemicals such as chlorine and pH modulators helps keep the water clean. Automated robotic cleaners, such as the CF-2000 Pro robotic vacuum cleaner, make the cleaning task easier and ensure flawless results.
