How to Choose the Perfect Size for Your Plunge Pool
If you’re looking for a backyard addition that lets you splash around but you’re not interested in swimming laps all day, a plunge pool might be the perfect fit. Inground plunge pools are modern swimming pools that are smaller than the average pool, but larger than a hot tub. At Seaway Pools & Hot Tubs, the size and style of your plunge pool is entirely customizable, you can opt for a simple inground option or a semi inground pool. The award-winning swimming pool builders at Seaway Pools & Hot Tubs will work with you to design a breathtaking backyard and pool that allows you and your loved ones enough space to enjoy some hydrotherapy together without taking over your whole property.
However, since the sizing can vary so much, how do you know what size would be best for your home? Here's a few things to keep in mind.
Consider the Available Space
The most important thing to keep in mind is the physical limitations of your outdoor space. Ideally, your pool shouldn’t take up your entire backyard. Depending on how you like to spend your time outside, you might want to leave some extra square footage for other activities like lounging or BBQing. For more guidance on how to make the most of your specific space, contact the team at Seaway Pools & Hot Tubs.
Consider the Purpose of Your Plunge Pool
How you plan to use your plunge pool regularly can also greatly impact what its size should be. Is it strictly a grown-ups relaxation zone, or potentially a haven for kids to let out some energy during the summer. Preferably, you want your pool to be large enough to fit your day-to-day activities, but small enough that it doesn’t take up any unnecessary space.
Consider Your Lifestyle
How often do you see yourself using your plunge pool? If the answer is just on the hottest days of the year, then maybe consider something slightly bigger than a large hot tub. That way you can have more space left over for your regular activities, and you can spend less time on cleaning. However, if you’re looking to use it regularly, or for activities that require more space like diving, or swimming, a lap pool would be better for your needs.
Consider the Number of Users
How many people do you envision using your plunge pool? If it’s just for yourself it might make sense to go with a smaller, more intimate size. If you’re looking to fit the whole family, it might be worth upscaling so that everyone can have their own space. If you’re looking to regularly host friends for pool parties, then having a larger plunge pool will help you be a hit. If you’re unsure how much space per person is just right, Seaway Pools & Hot Tubs has the experience to help you decide.
