Let Your Lifestyle Decide Your Swimming Pool Size

At Neave Group, we believe your lifestyle should be the main factor in choosing your pool size. If you’re training potential Olympic divers, your needs will differ significantly from those with young children who prefer the shallow end.

Do you swim laps or entertain large groups? Are your children older or younger? Our expert designers consider all these factors, ensuring your pool fits your family and is a stunning addition to your home.

How Deep Should My Pool Be For Diving?

The law requires pools to be at least 8 feet deep and 24 feet from the back wall to the shallow end for diving. If you prefer a pool slide, a 6-foot shallower deep end might suffice. Our designers at Neave Group consider local terrain and property layouts to ensure optimal safety and functionality.

The Most Common Regret About Pool Size

Many homeowners wish they had opted for a larger shallow end. At Neave, we recommend allowing for as much shallow end as possible to maximize the enjoyment of your pool. Consider a larger 16 by 40-foot pool, doubling your shallow end to 16 feet.

Think Square Feet — Not Dimensions

Forget the traditional mindset of specific dimensions. With Neave Group, you can customize any pool shape and size based on square footage, which is a more realistic approach to fitting a pool into your lifestyle. For example, an 800-square-foot pool comfortably accommodates up to 16 people.

How Big Should My Pool Deck Be?

Your lifestyle should also guide the size of your pool deck. Hosting big family gatherings? Plan for a deck that matches your pool size, ensuring everyone enjoys comfort and space.
