The Smart Alternative to Traditional Pools
Premium cocktail pools that deliver everything you need: cooling off, family fun, and home value. Without the expense, chemicals, or maintenance of a large pool.
The Industry Shift Nobody's Talking About:
In our 30+ years serving the Florida pool industry, a distinct shift has emerged only in recent years: homeowners are increasingly rejecting traditional 10,000–15,000-gallon pools in favor of shallower, more compact, easier to maintain pool.
Since 1994, we have repaired, installed, and renovated thousands of pools, giving us a front-row view of evolving homeowner preferences for their outdoor living spaces—particularly their pools.
Although a robust market remains for traditional swimming pools, an increasing number of discerning clients are now requesting and selecting cocktail pools (also known as plunge or spool pools) for their backyards.
Here's Why
Experience has shown homeowners that the deep end of a traditional swimming pool is seldom used. Most time spent in the pool is devoted to cooling off, lounging, floating, or simply supervising children and grandchildren as they play—activities that does not require a deep pool.
Our fiberglass cocktail pools are engineered precisely for this modern pattern of use, delivering a luxurious, low-maintenance swimming experience without the wasted space, higher operating costs, and excessive water volume of traditional deep pools.
