Small Swimming Pools for everyone!

Adding a swimming pool to your home has many benefits, such as increasing property value and offering a relaxing activity when the weather permits. Sizing is a top priority when installing a pool. If you prefer a smaller option, here are some advantages and disadvantages of a 15×25 pool, the most popular size among smaller selections.

Occupants

The number of individuals you expect to use the pool will determine how big the feature needs to be. For example, eight to ten family members or friends could occupy this size pool comfortably. However, a larger feature is often necessary for more occupants, starting with a 16×32 pool. The sizing will need to increase as the number of people who will need to fit inside the pool increases.

You cannot predict how many occupants will be inside the pool in advance, but you know the feature’s purpose. Therefore, that should be a significant factor when determining what size is too small or just right for your pool selection.

Cost

Many individuals mistakenly believe installing a smaller pool is the cheapest option. However, the final cost of a pool is determined by multiple factors. Size is just one of these factors. The smallest pools can come with more expensive necessities compared to larger swimming options. Other factors affecting cost include the installation location, for example above or in the ground, material selections, and the extras chosen to be placed around the feature.

Even with a 15×25 pool, the placement will be a huge factor to consider. For instance, if you decide a specific spot within the backyard is smaller and can hold the pool, it might be the right size, but if it has a tree too close to it, costs may increase.

Depth

The average 15×25 pool has a depth of six feet. This size is great for playing, exercising, and swimming. It’s best to avoid anything smaller than the average size of 12×14, as it would be too small. A 15×25 pool can still give you different options, such as adding a slide. However, a larger pool is vital when adding a diving rock because small pools aren’t as deep.
