Three Things to Know About Plunge Pools

Date: 07/30/2024

Have you ever been to a pool party where you just wanted to sit and relax inside the pool or maybe only dip your feet in while you chat? If that’s true, then plunge pools may be the right fit for you and your property.

Here are three things you should know about plunge pools before making your final decision:

Not for lap swimming: The most important thing to know about plunge pools is that they are not built for lap swimming. They are normally smaller and shallower than traditional pools because they are built mainly for sitting and wading rather than for swimming.
Built for relaxation and leisure: The main point of plunge pools is to provide a cool spot to sit and relax in the summer. They are perfect for relaxed pool parties and family gatherings. They’re just deep enough to comfortably sit in them, but you will find it difficult and uncomfortable to swim around. You can even add jets to your pool for additional comfort.
Easier to maintain: Not only are plunge pools built for relaxation, but they allow you to relax with the cleaning and maintenance aspect of pools too. The smaller size of the pool makes it far easier to maintain and clean than your standard-sized pool.
