Kidney Shaped Pools
Kidney-shaped pools are popular freeform pools that are rounded on each end, curving inward along one side. Kidney-shaped pools offer a sleek, contemporary feel and their asymmetrical shape fits easily into smaller spaces without sacrificing style.
- Design Benefits: Modern kidney-shaped pools blend the functionality of a traditional lap pool, with the sleek styling of a freeform pool
- Common Features: Kidney-shaped pools can include swim up seating, and slip resistant steps
- Considerations: Kidney-shaped swimming pool designs include flexible sizes, which can be great for smaller yards
