Building an indoor swimming pool

You want to enjoy your pool whatever the weather, it's possible thanks to the installation of an indoor pool. An element that is both decorative and entertaining, the indoor pool allows you to enjoy the joys of swimming even in the middle of winter. The models adapt perfectly to the layout of your spaces while promising you well-being and relaxation.

Although it has many advantages, the indoor swimming pool must meet a certain number of constraints at the time of its construction. Indeed, this type of project is not trivial, it is therefore advisable to respect a few rules so that its installation is optimal.

Before embarking on this project, contact a professional pool builder such as Aboral Piscines, or one of its resellers, in order to benefit from personalized advice and complete support.

Important points when building your indoor pool

The construction of an indoor swimming pool should be done in a room separate from the house. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine building a swimming pool in the middle of one's living room, near the kitchen and its household appliances. Therefore, plan for a room equipped with a high ceiling and a large volume of air, in order to avoid the feeling of humidity.

• Choosing a room that is slightly isolated from the rest of the house also allows you to limit the smell of chlorine and other cleaning products as well as noise pollution (diving, echoes, etc.)
• You also need to consider the safety of your pool and filtration system. So make sure you have storage space for your pool maintenance equipment (maintenance chemicals, accessories, net, etc.) and your filtration system (pump, motor, lighting system, etc.)

How much does an indoor pool cost?

If you want to build an indoor swimming pool, you will need to plan a large budget because the prices are higher than for an outdoor swimming pool, and for good reason this type of installation requires significant development around the pool.

Indoor shell pool: €25,000 minimum
Indoor swimming pool kit: €1,800 to €5,000
Concrete indoor swimming pool: from €50,000

Indoor swimming pool legislation

And yes, if you want to build an indoor swimming pool at home, you will need to submit a building permit application to your town hall. If your swimming pool exceeds a surface area of 20m2, you will need to provide the following documents:

• A location plan of the land
• A construction plan
• Photos of the future swimming pool in situ

Your town hall will give you a response regarding your building permit within 2 months maximum.
