Swimming Pool Shapes

Pools come in every shape and size! From rectangles to ovals, circles to squares, Roman shaped to every lagoon or pond you can imagine - it's what the mind can imagine after all. The swimming pool companies you meet with should be able to recommend what will work best in your yard.

Are you practical? If so, a rectangular pool is a great choice. Design oriented? Perhaps a shaped pool is right for you. A swimmer with a small yard and a small budget? Try a lap pool.
