Lap pool provides Auckland family with competitive edge
Finding the best position for a swimming pool can be a challenge, especially when you want to swim laps but don’t want a large pool and fencing detracting from the view.
For this project, by Mayfair Pools’ North Auckland agent Richard Rowley, the solution was to install a 20m lap pool down the side of the house.
The pool was built for a family of serious swimmers. The family has competed in ocean races and the father coaches at the local surf club. They wanted a 20m pool for training, but they didn’t want it to stretch across the entire back yard. Positioning the pool at the side of the house left space for a large terraced area that is ideal for entertaining,” says Rowley.
As well as providing a 20-metre swimming lane, complete with lane markings, the pool has a play area which is visible from the family living areas.
The pool features a Pisa Blue interior and ozone water treatment system. For year-round use, it can be heated by a heat pump.
The coping stones are honed concrete pavers, which were manufactured by Paving Slab Company.
White tiles at the water line and white plastered walls enhance the sleek, minimalist look of the outdoor living area, and the use of glass for the pool fence ensures the sea view is uninterrupted,” says Rowley.
