Geometric Pools

Building classic inground swimming pools for 80 years

Geometric pools have a defined shape and are ideal if you are seeking a classic poolscape with a contemporary feel.

Since 1946, we’ve worked on over 1 million pools across the U.S, earning us recognition by Forbes as the Best Pool Installation Company six years in a row. We have the expertise to design and install the sleek, geometric pool of your dreams.

About Geometric Pools

Overview

Geometric pools have a defined shape — typically rectangular or square, but may also come in circular and oval designs. Geometric pools can be formal or contemporary, and seamlessly complement the architecture of a modern or contemporary home exterior. While the outer shape of the pool is set, you can layer on any number of features during the design process with our design consultants. We use advanced 3D rendering software to help you visualize your pool before we even break ground.

Benefits

Many homeowners favor geometric pools due to the ease of adding vanishing edges or tanning ledges and the ability to add an automatic pool cover. They are also great for water sports, including swimming for exercise or water volleyball. Beyond superior functionality, the sleek simplicity of geometric pools is a bold design choice that leaves a powerful, lasting impression.

Finishes

Geometric pool finishes are chosen to create a refined water color and a sleek visual texture. To achieve a bright, luxurious look that complements contemporary outdoor spaces, homeowners frequently explore light-colored or white finish categories such as plaster, quartz, aggregate, or pebble, which balance appearance, feel, and durability.

This elegant home is balanced by a geometric pool that features a raised spa, sheer descent waterfalls, paver decking and coping, and deck jets.

Features

Geometric pools easily accommodate a range of features that enhance both form and function.

Popular features include:

  • Vanishing Edges & Tanning Ledges: These features are easily added to geometric shapes for a sleek look and comfortable lounging.
  • Pool Lighting: Custom lighting options like LEDs and fiber-optics can be built in to enhance safety and highlight key features like steps and vanishing edges.
  • Tile and Mosaics: Light-colored or blue tile and mosaics are frequently used to emphasize the clean lines.
  • Water Features: A variety of jets, waterfalls, and fountains can be added to personalize the pool while also improving water circulation and chemical distribution.
