Again, like many features related to a swimming pool, personal preference is the first consideration. You will probably want a pool to not only be practical but aesthetically pleasing as well. Other things you need to consider are: What shape fits best in my yard, how many people will routinely be using my pool, how deep do I want it, is the pool for play, exercise or both, do you plan to entertain in your pool a lot or is it primarily for family use, how does the shape compliment my home and how does the shape and or size fit in to the existing elevation and landscaping. All of these issues we look at and take into consideration and can make recommendations on during an in-home appointment.
