Small Backyard Pools for Small Spaces That Are Big Fun
Let’s be real, not everyone has a large backyard or space for a 40′ pool or even a 26′ pool. Plus, some backyards are not a typical space or there are existing structures to work around. If you can relate to this, not to worry! At Leisure Pools, we offer pools in a variety of size options and shapes to fit nearly any space. These are some of the pools that can be a good fit for smaller spaces.
- Start With Plunge: Compact options like the 9’6″ Fiji Plunge or the 16′ and 20′ Palladium Plunge suit tight spaces while still offering flat-bottom layouts, seating, and room for water aerobics, water jogging, or a Swim Jet System.
- Use Shape Well: The Courtyard Roman stays under 20′ in length for tighter sites, while the Tuscany’s freeform curves help it fit challenging or corner locations that more formal shapes may not handle as easily.
- Add Built-In Comfort: Smaller designs can still include features such as curved seating, spa jets, seat aeration, wide sitting benches, and places to cool off, play games, or relax on hot days.
- Think About Placement: Models like the Harmony and Elegance use benches, side steps, and unobstructed swim space in ways that can help fit the pool closer to the home or preserve a better swimming corridor.
The clearest takeaway is that small-space pool planning works best when size, shape, and built-in features are chosen together rather than treated separately.
Plunge Pools
The trend towards smaller backyards has led to the development of the plunge pool. Plunge pools are a great way to beat the summer heat and to enjoy the cool waters of a swimming pool. Just because they’re small it doesn’t mean you can’t use them for exercise. Plunge pools are great for water aerobics and water jogging, and you can install a Swim Jet System too. These small backyard pools still have the beauty, gorgeous color range and quality as our larger pools and will provide your home with a stunning visual effect. We offer two plunge pool options:

The Fiji Plunge: This pool is great for the smallest of spaces as it is 9’6″ in length. This pools offers a wide sitting bench and flat-bottom design.
The Palladium Plunge: This pool comes in two size options including 16′ and 20′. It also offers ample seating and a flat-bottom design.

Smaller Pools with Great Shapes
If you’re looking for a small backyard pool that will fit within a challenging space, Leisure Pools has these options:

The Courtyard Roman: At under 20′ in length, this pool can fit in tighter spaces. As its name implies The Courtyard Roman is the ideal centerpiece for a stunning courtyard setting. It may be small, but it’s packed with features. The pool is ideal for a Swim Jet System with the jets being located between the two sets of steps at the shallow end. At the other end in the curved seating area you can install Spa Jets and even Seat Aeration to create that massaging hydrotherapy effect you get in a spa and a table can be fitted into the curved seating area to complete the picture. The main body of the pool is great for playing games or simply relaxing and cooling off on hot Summer days.
The Tuscany: The Tuscany’s freeform shape can adapt to any theme you may wish to create with your swimming pool area. Fitting perfectly in just about any pool site and particularly adaptable to difficult corner sites where the freeform shapes afford considerable versatility of placement, the Tuscany’s free flowing curves allow you to manoeuvre the pool into places that many other more formal shapes won’t fit. It comes in two sizes: 28’6″ and 23’3″.

Other Leisure Pools We Love with Size Options Under 20′

The Harmony: This pool comes in a 19’8″ option and 16’5″ option. By having the full length bench and steps on one side of the pool the design allows the deepest part of the pool to be well away from any house foundations. This can often allow the pool to be situated closer to the home which is a great benefit where space for a pool is limited.
The Elegance: This pool has a 19’8″ option. The Elegance is not only a visually stunning pool, but also one that maximizes the space inside where you swim. The Elegance has a large unobstructed swimming corridor which is perfect for swimming laps. The central step location also incorporates generous seating area where optional spa jets can be installed to create a relaxing spa nook.

Now that you know you can still have all the benefits of a Leisure Pool even if space is challenge, are you ready to learn more about making a splash into pool ownership? Contact Leisure Pools today and Get Swimming in Quality and Style.
