Browse Forums Pools & Spas 1 Aug 12, 2019 9:03 pm Hi We are thinking of putting in a concrete pool but are unsure of the best width and depth. We are going to get the pool as long as we can fit (will be between 9 and 11m) and thinking of putting a spill over spa to one side. Just wondering, what is the minimum width that you would want if you had kids in a pool that length and also what depth? We had a pool that ranged from 1.2-2m and i hated the deep end being so deep so was thinking of going 1.2-1.6m any thoughts on this? I would ideally just make the entire pool the same depth but i dont know if this is a bad idea. We are limited in one direction regarding the width making it about 2.7-3m at its narrowest.. would this be too narrow? Also is 9-11m ok to swim laps? We had a 7m pool previously and this was far too small. thanks! Re: Best pool size with children 2Aug 20, 2019 2:35 pm Size of pool is a personal thing. Especially taking into account budget, yard size, number of swimmers etc. Is it a lap pool or a recreation pool? Only you can answer your questions here. But the sizes you quote, is a decent size none the less. I agree on the deep end aspect. hate the deepend when you're trying to play volleyball. always wondered if anyone had the deepend in the middle.

Our old pool that we filled in recently had the deep part in the middle and shallow at both ends (one shallow end was a bit deeper than the other). It worked quite well. I've never seen that anywhere else before. Re: Best pool size with children 4Aug 24, 2019 8:45 pm Thanks all for your replies. IF the pool can fit it is going to be a 12.5m lap pool with a wading area to one side and a bench the length of the pool. The pool will be 3.2m wide but this includes the bench, actual swimming width will be 2.8m i believe. We want it as a lap pool but also for kids. Its a hard decision i just dont want to regret it later if we make it too small. The spot we want to put it is limited in the width, if we put the pool somewhere else we can have it 8m wide if we want i just dont want it block the access to my yard. thanks!
