If you have a deep swimming pool and are planning to renovate it, you may want to consider the advantages that come from making the deep end shallower. For many people, a swimming pool with a deep end is less than ideal. While a 7- or 8-foot depth was common among backyard swimming pools-built years ago, the trend today is a pool that foregoes the deep end. In fact, most new residential pools are being built with the deepest area that ranges only 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 feet. This increasingly popular design is called a play pool or sports pool.
Typically, play pools are 3 feet deep at the stairs, 5 feet deep in the center, and 3 to 4 feet deep at the other end. Sports pools have the same general depth profile, but they tend to be symmetrical in shape; that way, you can easily divide the pool into equal halves for team water sports. In many cases, a pool remodel specialist can cut the water depth by several feet. Depending on a pool’s existing dimensions, it may even be possible to create an approximate configuration of a play or sports pool. By doing so, you will have an aquatic retreat that’s more economical and far more functional. Let us be your Frisco / McKinney Pool Service!
