Rectangle
A rectangular swimming pool is an oldie but goodie. This is a very traditional shape that’s great for swimming laps due to it’s straight, long and narrow design. It’s a classic, and you can never go wrong with a classic! If you think this isn’t very fitting for your home or personality, consider the L shape pool. It’s a variation of the rectangle and adds a little more spice to your backyard while still great for swimming laps.
Kidney
A kidney pool shape, basically a funky oval, lacks corners and sharp angles. It usually pairs really well with contemporary yards or yards that lack strict geometric lines. If you have an oddly-shaped or small backyard, this is a great option for you. The kidney can easily be designed to fit in small areas. Not to mention, a lot of people with young children tend to gravitate towards this shape for safety reasons. This style lacks of sharp edges, making it ideal for families with children.
Roman/Grecian
Roman shaped pools are another variation of the rectangle. It’s a rectangle but instead of four straight lines, it’s 2 straight lines and 2 semi circles. Typically, this luxury swimming pool design has the deep end in the center of the pool. Grecian is also a variation of rectangle. It looks like a rectangle with the corners cut off, like an octagon.
