Custom Pool Designs, Celebrating National Swimming Day
In Australia, the backyard swimming pool is a place to relax, exercise, and socialise while adding a touch of luxury to our lives. With customisation, our pools nurture our families’ individual needs and create memories.
National Swimming Pool Day is the ideal opportunity to delve into the artistry and innovation behind custom pool designs, especially those adorning the backyards of Melbourne.
From bathhouse to backyard
Since 2016, July 11th has marked National Swimming Pool Day. It represents a day to celebrate pools and pool-related paraphernalia and to acknowledge the contributions of the swimming pool industry.
The day also serves as a humble reminder of the historical journey of swimming pools from ancient communal baths to our modern-day luxuries. It seems the perfect time to reflect on some of the wonderful pool designs right here.
Popular custom pool designs
Melbourne is renowned for its dynamic architectural landscape and outdoor living ethos. Our backyards are homes to a plethora of stunning swimming pool designs.
Add on customisation to said designs and the options are virtually limitless. The best pools start with a great base model and build from there.
Infinity pools
These pools create the illusion of endlessness and you may have heard them called vanishing edge pools.
Popular for their breathtaking views and luxurious ambiance, infinity pools are often built in scenic locations such as hillside properties or overlooking the ocean, enhancing the outdoor living experience
Lap pools
These are long and narrow pools perfect for swimming laps. Designed for fitness enthusiasts, they are ideal for urban homes where space is limited.
Lap pools are about functionality and often feature sleek, modern designs. Serious swimmers may explore customisable features like resistance jets.
Natural pools
These eco-friendly pools are separated into a swimming area and a regeneration zone that uses biological filters and aquatic plants for water filtration.
They blend in perfectly with the natural garden settings and create a chemical-free swimming environment that’s healthier for both swimmers and the ecosystem.
Plunge pools
Small and deep, plunge pools are designed for relaxation and cooling off.
Despite their size, they can be customised with features like jets and seating areas, making them ideal for compact urban spaces.
Spa pools
Combining a traditional swimming pool with a spa or hot tub creates a versatile option that won’t take away space from urban backyards. This hybrid is a great solution where outdoor space is limited.
They offer a variety of benefits, including relaxation, hydrotherapy, and exercise.
Celebrate pools,
every day
Today’s pool are an evolution from history and this day pays homage to that journey. We often take for granted the artistry that created these well-designed aesthetic and functional pools.
Let today be a day to remind us to appreciate the wonderful addition a pool can make to our homes and lifestyles.
