Inground Swimming Pools Designs & Types

An in-ground pool is more than just a place to swim — it’s the center of your entire backyard experience and the ideal setting for countless hours of family fun. From summertime splash-fights to elegant entertaining, in-ground swimming pools are a valuable and versatile addition to any home, offering beauty, excitement, and escape.
To get the very best experience from your new inground swimming pool, it’s important to choose the right type of pool for you and your family, taking into consideration factors like budget, maintenance, and space.

Fiberglass Pools

Fiberglass inground pools are another excellent option for homeowners, depending on your needs and preferences. With quick installation, minimal maintenance, and impressive strength that outperforms concrete, fiberglass is a solid choice for virtually any application. Fiberglass pools offer luxury built to last and provide an elegant backdrop for your next cookout, family gathering, or garden party.

Vinyl Liner Pools

Vinyl-liner inground pools, which are also called “packaged pools,” are constructed using core components like steps, braces, and wall panels. These components can be mixed and matched to create unique custom designs, depending on your backyard space and personal style preference.

Vinyl-liner swimming pools, which come in an extensive range of colors and patterns, have distinct advantages that make them ideal for many homeowners. Not only are vinyl inground pool liners crack-proof and highly durable, but they also offer a silky-smooth finish that feels soft to the touch.
