In-ground pools provide beauty and fitness

In-ground pools come in endless sizes and shapes. From that long, narrow lap pool that sneaks into a side yard to a simple rectangle that keeps you fit and refreshed or a curving, multi-level beauty complete with springboard, waterfall, and a jetted side spa, there are pools for every budget bracket.

You might prefer a pre-formed, easily maintained fiberglass pool for its quick, simple installation and variety of shapes. Or if you have a sloped lot, you may want a custom pool with a vanishing edge that appears to flow onto your property's lake shore or ocean frontage. Gunite pools, made of a special cement, are popular because of their ability to conform to a homeowner's taste in shape, surface tile or pebble colors, rock outcroppings, deck treatments, or extras like a fountain or swim-up bar.
