11 × 5.5 m Figure 8
pool plan
An estate-class pool: resort presence at home, with room for swimming, play and lounging at the same time. At this size the supporting decisions matter as much as the basin — plan generous decks, a solid heat source and an automatic cover from day one, because every square metre of water is heated, treated and covered.
The figure 8 pinches its waist between two round lobes, giving a soft, playful outline with genuinely separate zones: a bigger lobe for swimming and splashing, a smaller one for steps, kids or a spa corner. The narrow waist is also the natural place for a handrail or a divider net.

Questions about this plan
- How much water does a 11 × 5.5 m pool hold?
- About 52.4 m³ (52.4 tonnes of water) at 1.2–2.0 m depth — computed from the actual pool outline, not a rule of thumb.
- How long does it take to fill?
- Roughly 35 hours from a standard garden tap (~1.5 m³/h). A water delivery service fills it in a few hours.
- Is this size right for my garden?
- The water surface is 36.1 m²; plan roughly 1.5–2× that footprint including the surrounding deck. Open the plan in the designer and set your own deck margins to see the full footprint.
- Can I change the depth or edge type?
- Yes — open the plan in the designer and adjust depths, edge system (skimmer, deck-level overflow or raised), finishes and accessories freely.
