Things to Know When Planning Your New Inground Fiberglass Pool Project

Choose The Pool Model To Suit Your Needs

Pools come in all shapes and sizes, there are different pools for different lifestyles. Recreational pools are shallow at one end and deep on the other. They also come in a variety of different shapes, with the most common choice being the standard rectangle or freestyle designs.

Lap pools use a common rectangle shape similar to Olympic pools, but are narrower, which makes it ideal for training and exercise.

Swim spas are ideal if you want a pool that generates artificial currents.
