Choosing a swimming pool can be a fun and exciting experience. It is an investment that will last you for years to come.

To help you make the best choice, here are some tips:

Consider Your Budget

Before you begin your search, it’s important to know how much money you have available for your new pool. Once you know this number, it will be much easier to find a pool that fits within your price range.

Consider Your Location

If you live in an area where the ground freezes during winter months, then it’s best to choose a pool that can be covered with a solar blanket or insulated cover. Otherwise, the water may become too cold for swimming during colder weather. Also remember that some types of pools require more maintenance than others because they have more moving parts such as pumps and filters. If this sounds like something you would rather avoid, then consider a simple above-ground pool instead of an in-ground one with many bells and whistles. You should consult with your pool builder about the choices.

Consider The Shape

Another thing to consider is the shape and what kind of pool you want.

Beach-style pools are rectangular in shape and have steps leading down into the water. They are built with concrete walls and floors and a metal frame around the outside. Beach-style pools can be as small as 3 feet deep or as large as 50 feet deep. The most common size for a beach-style pool is 12 feet wide by 24 feet long, which has a depth of about 5 feet at one end and about 8 feet at the other end.

Oval-shaped pools are usually larger than beach-style pools because they can be longer without making them too deep in one area. Oval-shaped pools can also be smaller because they don’t need as much room around them for stairs, etc.

Lap pools are rectangular or oval shaped with no steps into the water and no diving board or slide. Lap pools are usually only 4 to 6 feet deep but are often longer than they are wide so that swimmers get more exercise.
