Narrow, deep and built for exercise, with room to swim, train and recover whenever the day allows.
A lap pool is built for swimming first. It is long and narrow, deep enough for a proper stroke and finished with surfaces that are comfortable on hands and feet. It also happens to be a graceful design element, a long line of water that makes a yard feel intentional.
For smaller lots, a swim spa offers a current in a compact form, and a hybrid design can add a spa or a shallow shelf at one end. We help you choose between a full lap pool, a swim spa or a combination based on how you train and how much space you have.
A comfortable lap pool is long enough for a few strokes and wide enough to turn. We choose dimensions around your goals, your stroke and the space on your lot.
A swim current lets you swim in place in a smaller footprint. We explain the options and show how the equipment fits into the design.
A heater, a cover and good lighting turn a lap pool into a three-season or four-season routine. We plan these early so they are built in, not bolted on.
If you swim early or late, lighting and a heater matter as much as length. We design the pool around your routine so it is pleasant to use at any hour.

It depends on how you train. Even a shorter lap pool with a current gives a good workout, and a longer pool suits traditional laps. We help you choose.
Yes. A shallow shelf or a side bench makes it welcoming for play and relaxing, while the lane stays useful for exercise.
For limited space, a swim spa offers current swimming in a compact form. It does not replace the feel of a long lap pool, and we explain the difference.
With a heater and a cover, many people swim for much of the year. An enclosure can extend the season further.
