Infinity Pools (negative edge)

Also referred to as vanishing or negative edge pools, infinity pools are among the most unique of pool styles due to their appearance. Infinity pools give the impression that your pool merges with another body of water such as the ocean or merges with the landscape, giving a stunning visual. In other words, it looks as if your pool simply drops off into the horizon on one or more sides. The end result looks as though the horizon extends “infinitely,” giving this pool its namesake. Exotic and exquisite, these pools can turn your backyard into a luxurious 5-star spa resort instantly.

Lap Pools

As the name implies, lap pools are specially designed for swimming laps. If you spend more time actually swimming in your pool than relaxing in it, a lap pool is the best choice for you. Lap pools offer great benefits to active swimmers, whether doing laps, playing or training for competitive water sports, practicing physical therapy, or working on personal fitness. While lap pools indeed provide swimmers with a great amount of function, they do not sacrifice form. Lap pools can be absolutely beautiful while still remaining a great source of exercise and health.

Lazy Rivers

What’s better than floating around the river in an inner tube with a cold drink in your hand? Bring the river home to your backyard with the installation of a lazy river. A lazy river – often found in water parks, hotels, spas, vacation resorts, and gyms – is a shallow pool that flows in the same way that a river typically does. The current’s slow speed – which is why it is referred to as “lazy” – gently pushes guests, lying on rafts or floats, down the river. The ultimate in leisure, a lazy river often has other accents such as waterfalls, fountains, or rock features.
