How Big Should Your Northern Rivers Pool Be? Prime Pool Co. Weighs In!

So you're dreaming of a Pool, here in the beautiful Northern Rivers? A place to escape the summer heat, entertain friends, or maybe even get in a few laps before work? At Prime Pool Co., we understand that choosing the right pool size can be a big decision. Let's dive into the key factors to consider:

Lap Pools:

Serious Swimmers: If you're a dedicated swimmer looking to clock some kilometres, a longer, narrower pool is ideal. We recommend a minimum of 10 metres in length. Popular choices include 12m x 3m or 15m x 4m. This gives you ample space to build momentum and get a proper workout.
Features to Consider: A lap pool often benefits from a deeper, consistent depth (perhaps 1.8m to 2m throughout) and a streamlined shape to minimize turbulence.

Family Fun Pools:

Kids and Playtime: For families with children, a pool that caters to play and splashing is key! Consider a design with varying depths – a shallow end or splash pad for little ones and a deeper end for adults (1.5m to 1.8m).
Shape Matters: A rectangular pool with a set of steps at one end is a classic choice. However, don't be afraid to get creative! Kidney-shaped pools or those with a dedicated wading area can be fantastic for families.
Size Guide: A good starting point for a family pool is around 6m x 4m, but this can be adjusted based on your yard size and budget.

Cooling Off and Relaxation:

Small Space Solutions: Even a small plunge pool can provide immense relief from the Northern Rivers heat! A compact 4m x 3m pool, or even a smaller plunge pool around 3m x 2m, can be perfect for a quick dip or a relaxing soak.
Design for Comfort: Consider adding features like built-in seating, spa jets, or a tanning ledge for ultimate relaxation.

Beyond the Basics:

Your Yard: The size and shape of your backyard will naturally play a significant role in determining your pool size. Our team at Prime Pool Co. can help you maximize your space and create a design that complements your property.
Council Regulations: Don't forget to check with your local council for any pool fencing regulations or size restrictions that might apply in your area.
Budget: Pool size will impact the overall cost of your project. We'll work with you to find a solution that meets your needs and your budget.
