Pool shape

Oval

A gentle ellipse — soft geometry that still swims well

The oval trades corners for one continuous curve. It sits beautifully in planted, informal gardens and among period houses, and the long axis still gives a proper swimming line. Circulation is excellent because there are no corners at all for water to stall in.
