Pool shape

Round

A simple circle — the social pool

A round pool is the most social shape there is: everyone faces everyone, there's no deep-end hierarchy, and it drops into a small garden or courtyard without dominating it. It's the natural choice for cooling off, kids' play and spa-like plunge pools rather than lap swimming.

Strengths

Fits where nothing else does
Structurally efficient — the circle resists ground pressure well
No corners at all: the easiest shape to keep clean
Reads as a garden feature, not just a pool

Trade-offs

No real swim lane
Rectangular covers and blankets fit poorly
Diameter above ~6 m starts to waste garden space
