Choosing a swimming pool is about more than just adding water to your backyard, it’s about choosing the architecture of your outdoor life. At Tennessee Valley Pools, we are proud to be a premier dealer of Leisure Pools, the world leader in fiberglass technology.
Leisure Pools are famous for their high-performance composite shells and stunning gelcoat finishes, but with so many models available, the biggest challenge is choosing the right shape. Are you a fan of clean, modern lines or a more natural, tropical vibe?
Here is a guide to the most popular Leisure Pools styles found throughout the Knoxville area.
Rectangular Pools: Modern Elegance & Athletic Function
Rectangular pools are the top choice for homeowners who want a timeless, architectural look. These shapes pair perfectly with modern home designs and offer the most "swimmable" area for exercise.
-
The Ultimate: This model lives up to its name. It features a built-in "splash pad" (tanning ledge), a deep-end swim-out bench, and an integrated spa. It is the Swiss Army Knife of pools, perfect for families who want it all.
-
The Icon: Designed for those who love to swim laps, the Icon offers a massive, unobstructed corridor. Its wide entry steps also serve as a great spot for kids to play safely.
Best for: Lap swimmers, modern backyard aesthetics, and families who want an integrated spa/tanning ledge combo.
Freeform Pools: Creating a Backyard Lagoon
If your backyard features rolling hills, lush Tennessee greenery, or you simply prefer a "resort" feel, a freeform pool is your best match. These pools use flowing curves to mimic the natural look of a lake or lagoon.
-
The Riviera: A classic freeform shape that fits into almost any landscape. Its perimeter seating allows for plenty of space to relax while keeping the center open for splashing.
-
The Eclipse: One of the most unique models in the catalog, the Eclipse features a massive built-in tanning ledge and a wrap-around bench, making it the ultimate "hangout" pool.
34' Riveria Graphite Grey
30' Eclipse Graphite Grey
Best for: Natural landscaping, tropical themes, and those who want their pool to feel like a destination rather than just a structure.
Small Spaces: The Rise of the Plunge Pool
You don’t need a massive estate in the suburbs to enjoy a Leisure Pool. Many of our clients in downtown Knoxville or on smaller urban lots are turning to Plunge Pools.
-
The Fiji or the Precision: These compact models offer the same luxury and durability as their larger cousins but are designed to fit into tight footprints. They are perfect for cooling off on a humid Tennessee afternoon or for "water aerobics" without the maintenance of a full-sized pool.
Best for: Smaller lots, urban living, and homeowners who want the aesthetic of a pool with a smaller footprint and lower chemical demand.
Which Shape is Right for Your East Tennessee Home?
The right pool shape depends on how you plan to use it. Do you see yourself hosting neighborhood pool parties, or is this your private sanctuary for morning laps and evening soaks?
At Tennessee Valley Pools, we don’t just sell pools, we help you design an experience. Our team knows the Knoxville terrain and can help you select the Leisure Pools model that fits both your yard and your lifestyle.
