5 Must-Have Features for Your Custom Inground Pool

We understand the value of a high-quality fiberglass pool, and we are a Latham Grand Dealer and a Leisure dealer. We have a beautiful gallery of pools for you to peruse as you decide what the must-have features for your sensational pool will be. Our experienced team can help you make sure that you get all the features you must have in your design. So, what are the five must-have features for your custom inground pool?

Exciting Entry Points

Maybe your childhood memories of swimming pool life include an exciting entry to the pool, like a slide or a diving board. These features add a thrill for adventurous swimmers. You can build your courage by trying out these classic features, whether it’s for the first time or the hundredth time. 

A diving board is a great way to give yourself a little variety for entering the pool. Contests for diving, belly flopping, or cannonball jumping make a pool party entertaining.

A slide is another thrilling way to enter the pool with a splash. There are several shapes and types to choose from when deciding which slide looks the most exciting.

Fabulous, Fun Fountains

Is a pool complete without a fountain? Many pool owners do not think so. A fountain has functionality and adds fun to a day in the pool. You can never go wrong by adding a fountain to your inground pool.

The moving water assists the pool’s circulation system with its important work. Stopping by the refreshing fountain can cool you off when the sun is scorching, and splashing in the fountain is highly recommended also. One more thing a fountain provides is additional beauty. 

Flickering, Friendly Flames

Fire features are extremely popular for backyard, outdoor life enthusiasts. There are several options for adding a flickering, friendly flame to your pool’s landscaping area. A traditional fire pit has great appeal. Lanterns, tiki torches, and fire bowls can also add beauty to the setting. Our helpful staff can help you cover all the possibilities out there as you customize.

Luminous LED Lights

Another feature that many pool owners must have are LED lights to illuminate the water. Variety is on your side as you select lighting options — floating lights, underwater lights, lights surrounding the pool, and many other types are available. Lights add to the experience and make night swimming safer and better. 

Salient, Sanitizing Shower

One last feature you must have is an outdoor shower near the pool. Quickly rinsing off before jumping in for a swim helps to eliminate minute debris from entering the pool with you.
