Ask Elite Pools about the In-Ground Pools We Design, Build, and Install

So, you’re sure that you want to enhance your home or commercial property by adding a pool – you’re just not sure which type of pool is right for you? In-ground pools are among the most popular types of swimming pools these days, with property owners preferring the permanent investment of in-ground pools to the often-temporary above-ground pool.

Elite Pools is your local area in-ground pool builder, here to help you create the pool of your dreams. So go ahead, enjoy your summer with family and friends – splashing around in the great outdoors! Choose from any one of the many in-ground swimming pool options below:

Freeform Pool

Freeform pools can be odd, lagoon-shaped in-ground pools or they can be shaped like a kidney bean and even have a rock formation and waterfall. The goal of this type of in-ground swimming pool is to provide hours of watery fun while also enhancing the overall landscape design of your outdoor space. They may or may not have a shallow end, depending on your specifications.

Play Pool

As in-ground pools go, play pools have “family fun” written all over them. They are the most commonly installed in-ground pools in residential properties. With a shallow end and a basin reaching a maximum depth of just about five feet, play pools are geared to families with small children who can enjoy the deeper water as they grow.

Lap Pool

The perfect in-ground pool for the competitive swimming enthusiast, lap pools are long and narrow to make it easier to swim laps. Common among sporting families and athletes, this kind of in-ground pool must be wide enough for one or more swimmers to not hit the side while swimming. A minimum of 6’ x 45’ is recommended.

Diving Pool

These in-ground pools are deeper than most, delving to at least eight feet and with a diving board on one end. Perfect for high school athletes, competitive swimmers, or anyone who just likes a good, old-fashioned, summertime cannonball every once in a while, diving pools are an excellent in-ground pool choice.

Vanishing Edge Pool

Mysterious optical illusions are what you (and some of the most famous hotels, resorts, and celebrities) get when you choose a vanishing edge pool. Also known as negative edge, zero edge or infinity pools, these in-ground pools produce a visual effect of the water extending to the horizon then literally “vanishing” over the edge and appearing to touch the sky. Definitely the luxury in-ground pool option, vanishing edge pools require the right property type and location, paired with extensive structural analysis to achieve exactly the right balance of safety and aesthetics.
