Rounded rectangle pool
The rectangle, softened — friendlier without losing swim length
A rounded rectangle keeps almost all of the rectangle's swimmable water but rounds the corners into generous fillets. The result reads softer in a garden, is gentler on swimmers, and the corners no longer trap debris the way sharp ones do. It's the shape we default to in the designer.
- Family pools
- Gardens that mix lawn and paving
- First-time pool owners
Strengths
- Nearly the rectangle's swim length, softer look
- Rounded corners circulate water better and trap less debris
- Comfortable with both modern and traditional houses
- Still easy to cover and clean
Trade-offs
- Slightly less floor area than a true rectangle at the same size
- Corner radii need matching coping cuts
- Automatic covers need a rectangular housing anyway
