Creative swimming pool design ideas by Cape Town Pools

Owning a swimming pool within your home premises is like a dream come true for most of us. Therefore, when designing pools for our clients, we aim to satisfy every need of the client.

Our skilled team of design professionals make sure the space available is used well and try to use most of the area for swimming, while minimizing the area used for the finishing touches. However, the designers complete the pool design in a tactful way to make sure that this compromise is not noticed when you see the finished product.

Depending on the client’s needs, if the pool is needed for fitness and training, we will grab most of its length for the actual swimming area to provide long, uninterrupted swimming distances. If the pool is going to be used for recreational activities, a more round or square shape would be ideal instead of the narrow length. With unique swimming pool shapes, you can make space for a separate sitting area, an area to play, an area for a Jacuzzi, and so on. The depth of the pool should also be kept in mind depending on whether you will be diving into the pool or you want it just shallow enough to stand and play games with your family. The best design would include a pool that gets deeper from one end so that both needs are catered to.

While keeping creativity in mind, designers at Cape Town Pools also ensure safety by including a proper system for draining out excess water around the edges of the pool. This ensures that the edges are kept dry and no one slips with their wet feet. The water draining system also ensures that water is not wasted unnecessarily.

Finally, after keeping all these factors in mind, Cape Town Pools designers have to make sure the finished product looks good. For this they have to add in the aesthetics to make the swimming pool look appealing. The attractiveness of your swimming pool depends on the material you use to construct it as well as the other cosmetic touch ups such as tiling and the unique shape of your pool.
