Pool Trends: What’s Hot for 2021

The biggest trend for the summer, and possibly the full year of 2020, was staying home. With the current concerns over the spread of COVID-19, many families are now focused on turning their home into their personal oasis and investing heavily into turning their backyards into a comfortable and relaxing haven.

Biggest trend overall: Everyone wants a pool!

School was in and out of session and vacations to locations filled with thousands of people were canceled as many opted to stay home. Things look to pretty much be the same this upcoming year, so why not live life in leisure with your own swimming pool from Pools123?

Splash Pads – Full Width

Pinnacle 35’ in Graphite Grey finish and custom rock waterfall

Splash pads are big. As in a full-width, 15 feet 6 inches wide big on the Leisure Pools™ Pinnacle inground composite fiberglass swimming pool. This splash pad provides a good foot and a half of water so when you lounge in your chair, the water will reach up to your knees and/or the bottom of your chair.

Splash Pads – Freeform

Eclipse 30′ in Crystal Blue and two-tone spray deck

Splash pads, in almost any form, are extremely popular. This includes having a stylish splash pad area in the front or to the sides of your pool as with the Leisure Pools™ Eclipse inground composite fiberglass swimming pool. While not as large as the full-width pools, it still provides a nice area for seating, relaxation or playful fun with kids and pets.

Tanning Ledges

The next best thing to a splash pad is a Leisure Pools™ Tanning Ledge which can be placed to the side of your swimming pool or added to an existing pool. These offer 12 inches of water so it is perfect for small children and pets – or for you to soak your toes in refreshing water. Be sure to check out our newest tanning ledge, the Leisure Pools™ Quartz which extends a full 14 feet!

Showcase Colors – Graphite Grey and Silver Grey

Ultimate 40’ in Graphite Grey finish

 There is nothing more elite and contemporary for your pool like the Leisure Pools™ Graphite Grey and Silver Grey finishes. The Graphite Grey has sparkles that shine against a deep grey, producing an exuberant stamp on what many consider the “traditional” pool color.


Riviera 26’ in Silver Grey finish and Oasis Blue cascade walls with Travertine cap

The Silver Grey provides a very natural look to your swimming pool with soft, balanced tones within its lighter grey background

Natural Stone & Pavers

Harmony 26′ in Sapphire Blue with custom Travertine Decking and Sandstone Water Feature Wall

While cement is still the “standard” around pools, many families are moving to a more prestigious and elegant style staring with the pavers around their pool. An example is this beautiful Harmony 26′ (26′ x 9′ 6″) in Sapphire Blue with custom Travertine Decking and Sandstone Water Feature Wall.

Bringing Nature to your Pool Environment
