Melbourne’s Best Swimming Pools

A swimming pool brings relief and enjoyment in Summer and a relaxing vista in Winter.
There’s no doubt a well designed swimming pool adds value to a home, attracting both families and couples seeking that holiday feeling all year around.

However the design of swimming pools is changing with these latest trends reflecting the market in 2018.

1. Solar heating is now easier than ever, cost saving, and allows more swimming time in the cooler Melbourne months.

2. Smaller pools and plunge pools that don’t dominate the back-yard and leave space for other outdoor entertaining

3. Landscape architecture that places the pool at the centre of a beautiful vista that can be viewed from indoors

4. Self-cleaning pools for our increasingly time poor lives

5. Pools that are close to the house and easily seen from inside providing a relaxing view at any time of year.

Due to the calibre of the homes we sell at Marshall White, we see many beautiful pools.
From the Brighton beach to the CBD, in ground to overhead, here are some of our favourite pools of 2018:
