According to the latest study by the Fédération des Professionnels de la Piscine (FPP), the average size of a swimming pool is 33m². A pool with a surface area of around 40m² and that is more than 10m in length can be considered a large pool. The large pool of today is barely more than half the size of a typical large pool in the 1980s, which had a surface area of around 70m².

Why build a large pool? For swimming, of course! There’s nothing like a lap pool for building up your lengths! But a large pool is also necessary in cases where it will belong to several dwellings or is intended to be shared (as with a gîte, hotel, campsite or guesthouse pool, for example).

The Waterair Pools range

Waterair Pool technology enables us to build lap pools, large pools and communal pools. Several sizes are possible, depending on your needs.

 

Large pool sizes:

  • Ilona pool, dimensions 10.30 x 4.80 metres (44.20 m²)
  • Romy pool, dimensions 10.70 x 5.10 meters (53.90 m²)
  • Tina pool, dimensions 10.10 x 5 metres (50.30 m²)
  • Adele pool, dimensions 9.30 x 5.70 metres (41 m²)

Lap pool sizes:

  • Ilona pool, dimensions 12 x 3.60 metres (39.90 m²)
  • Romy pool, dimensions 9.30 x 3 metres (27.30 m²)
  • Tina pool, dimensions 10.30 x 3.40 metres (34.50 m²)

The lengths and widths can be varied to suit everyone’s wishes, such as to create a slightly wider pool with space to play family water games more easily. In addition, the lap pool, considerably narrower by often more than 10 m long, allows you to enjoy the pleasure of swimming. It is easier than ever to create a large pool using our structure made of steel panels.

What are the characteristics of a large pool?

In addition to the surface area of the pool, you also need to consider its depth.

A large pool does not necessarily have to be deep. The depth needs be appropriate for the use you are going to make of it. And it is quite possible to swim in a depth of 1.2m. What is important is that the pool user feels at ease. This is rarely the case where the pool is too deep for you to be able to touch the bottom.

Reducing the depth of the pool also enables you to reduce maintenance and the cost of heating it. A large pool will be more difficult to cover and heat.

In summary, a large pool is good:

  • for large gardens
  • for sports use
  • to add to the enjoyment of guests staying in guesthouses / hotels / campsites.

But you will need to think about:

  • maintenance
  • heating
  • covering it.
