It's decided, you're going to have a swimming pool installed at home! But you're still wondering what shape of pool to choose? Find out how to choose the shape of your swimming pool, thanks to these few tips.

What are the different shapes of swimming pools that exist?

There are traditional shapes of swimming pool and others that are less so.

Classic shapes
We distinguish:
• rectangular: this is the most classic of shapes, perfect for swimming. With a large garden, choosing a rectangular shape for your pool is ideal, but less so when you have little space;
• the round: it is suitable for small spaces. Ideal for relaxation, but less practical for swimming;
• The oval: very aesthetic, it fits easily into your environment and allows you to do lengths.

Other forms
It is possible to choose the shape of your swimming pool by opting for:
• an infinity pool: it overflows on one side, due to the absence of a coping. It has the advantage of being clean for longer than classic pools, but costs more;
• original shapes: they are ideal for choosing the shape of your shell pool. Corner pool, octagonal, peanut, bean, egg-shaped or heart-shaped, they are perfectly adaptable, but at a certain cost;
• free form: it allows you to choose the shape of your swimming pool depending on the space on the land, but is expensive;
• the swimming corridor: it has a long, slender shape, but is not suitable for everyone, as it is reserved for athletes.
