A Color Gallery of Swimming Pools
Spash! That first wet thrill of the hot season as you cascade into the sparkling deep may be the premium pleasure of having a swimming pool at home. But other bonuses are plentiful, too – solitary laps down its length before breakfast, splash-happy afternoons for the kids, fast rounds of water volleyball, exhilarating dips after soaks in spa or hot tub, and relaxed poolside lingering with family and friends on warm summer evenings.
In hot weather, the most immediate promise of pleasure may be to plunge right in. But with attention to landscaping detail, a swimming pool becomes more than just a source of water play, exercise, or relaxation in an adjoining spa. The quietly lapping and sparkling presence of a swimming pool is pleasant to look at and refreshing to live with throughout the year.
Here we will try to show you'll see swimming pools not just in the typical backyard site but all kinds of locations – pools set alongside houses and in vales below, on small city lots as well as in open, specious gardens. As you browse through them, keep watch for ideas that may apply to your situation. In every example, notice how swimming pools can interplay with planting, pavings, decks, fences, and other structures to create a unified landscaping scheme.
