Thinking about adding a pool to your garden? 🌿💦
Choosing the right pool isn’t just about size. It’s about how you want to use it, how it fits your garden, and the impact it has on your budget and build.
🏊 20m Traditional Lap Pool
150m³ pool volume
≈195m³ loose spoil
🚛 Around 13 muckaway trucks
🏡 10m Family Pool
75m³ pool volume
≈97.5m³ loose spoil
🚛 Around 7 trucks
💪 5m Swimjet Pool
18.75m³ pool volume
≈24.4m³ loose spoil
🚛 Around 2 trucks
That means moving from a 5m swimjet pool to a 20m lap pool can involve around 8 times more spoil and 11 additional truck movements.
Traditional pool or Swimjet?
A 20m pool gives you the space to swim naturally and practise proper turns — but it also requires a much larger footprint, more excavation and greater site access.
A smaller pool with a modern swimjet system can give you an endless swimming experience in a fraction of the space, making it ideal for fitness, relaxation and gardens where space is limited.
And remember: the pool should work with your garden, not dominate it. Ideally, your pool and surrounding relaxation area should take up less than around 40% of your usable garden space.
At The Natural Pool Company, we design around your lifestyle, garden and budget — not simply the biggest pool we can fit in.
From initial concept through to design, build and ongoing maintenance, we take care of the details before you commit.
