Pool Designer

Rectangular

The classic — clean lines, maximum swim length

The rectangle is the default for a reason: it gives you the most swimmable water for a given footprint, plays well with modern architecture and lap swimming, and makes covers, solar blankets and automatic cleaners simple. Straight walls also keep formwork and tiling straightforward, which builders appreciate.

  • Lap swimming and exercise
  • Modern, architectural gardens
  • Automatic covers
8 m4 m

Strengths

  • Most usable swim length per square metre
  • Simplest to build, tile and cover
  • Automatic and slatted covers fit perfectly
  • Timeless look that suits most houses

Trade-offs

  • Sharp corners collect debris in the corners' eddies
  • Can feel formal in a soft, planted garden
  • No built-in visual softness — finishes must do the work
