Plunge Pools: Small Swimming Pools
in Phoenix, AZ and surrounding areas
SMALL POOLS OR PLUNGE POOLS
Plunge pools (small swimming pools) are the ultimate option for a home that has space restrictions or other obstacles that would make a regular swimming pool unfeasible. They also make great options for owners with small children who have safety concerns about a deeper pool, or for owners that like the idea of a pool in their backyard but don’t like the maintenance and cleaning that comes with it.
With an average depth of about 3 feet, plunge pools are smaller than normal pools and too shallow to swim in but can be used for wading or laying out in the water on a hot day. Homeowners looking to swim laps or install a diving board will need to dive deeper, but for those looking for cold dips, relaxation, and an aesthetic piece for their backyard, plunge pools are an intriguingly cost-effective option
Plunge pools have gained popularity for their versatility and efficiency. For instance, homeowners can choose to incorporate various features such as LED lighting, which enhances evening gatherings and creates a serene ambiance. Additionally, integrating a heating system helps extend the swimming season, allowing you to enjoy your plunge pool even in cooler months. Many people also find that the reduced size of plunge pools allows for easier maintenance, requiring fewer chemicals and less cleaning time compared to larger pools.
In urban areas where space is at a premium, plunge pools can also contribute to the aesthetic appeal of a property. They can be designed to seamlessly blend with the surrounding landscape, creating a tranquil escape. For example, using natural stone or decorative tiles can enhance the visual appeal while providing a non-slip surface for safety.

SMALL SWIMMING POOLS
In addition to being more convenient, a plunge pool’s small size also allows for much more customization than with a traditional pool, giving you more control over the look of your backyard and the function of the pool. Backyard landscaping options multiply a hundredfold with a smaller, shallower pool that can be elevated off the ground, built in a variety of different shapes, and placed in an aesthetically pleasing and convenient section of the backyard. A fountain or small waterfall can even be installed in your plunge pool, giving the pool a more relaxing feel.
Having less water in the pool also means that it is possible to turn the plunge pool into a kind of spa. Water jets can be installed to give you a massage as you relax in the pool, or the water can be heated to make the pool, even more, relaxing and viable during colder months of the year.
There are many benefits to a plunge pool. The shallowness is actually a plus for many homeowners. If the ability to swim is not necessarily what you want out of your small swimming pool, then a plunge pool can save you money and add a beautiful centerpiece to your backyard.
Moreover, plunge pools can be an ideal choice for social gatherings. They provide a perfect setting for relaxation and making memories with family and friends. Consider adding built-in seating or lounge areas around the pool to enhance comfort and encourage social interaction. This setup is perfect for hosting summer barbecues or intimate evening gatherings, making your plunge pool a central feature of your outdoor space.
Furthermore, integrating eco-friendly options such as solar covers can help maintain water temperature and reduce evaporation, making plunge pools a sustainable option for eco-conscious homeowners. These additions contribute to an environmentally friendly approach while ensuring that your plunge pool remains inviting and functional year-round.
