Pools Are for the Whole Family—Let’s Design One That Works for Everyone
When you’re planning a backyard pool, you’re not just thinking about water depth and tile colors. You’re imagining cannonballs, swim lessons, lazy afternoons, and maybe even that first moment your child learns to float.
At Pools Plus Inc., we help Rhode Island families build pools that check all the boxes—safe, fun, relaxing, and timeless. Whether you’re building from scratch or upgrading an existing pool, here are the features that make the biggest difference for families.
1. Shallow Play Areas for Kids
A zero-entry or beach-entry zone lets little ones wade in gradually—no steps, no sudden drops. We also install custom tanning ledges that double as shallow splash zones for kids and in-water seating for adults.
Pair these features with our inground pool options or even compact plunge pools designed with family use in mind.
2. Safety Is Non-Negotiable
- Slip-resistant surfaces around pool decks
- Secure fencing and gates compliant with Rhode Island safety codes
- Clear walkways integrated into hardscape designs
- Optional pool alarms and covers
3. Built-In Seating and Shade
- In-pool benches or seating ledges
- Pergolas or umbrellas for shaded rest areas
- Integrated hot tubs like those in our hot tub and spa selection
4. Space to Play—and Grow
- Open swim zones for games or laps
- Water features like fountains or jets that entertain toddlers and teens alike
- Decking space that grows with your needs (think lounge areas or outdoor kitchens)
5. Easy Maintenance Keeps the Fun Going
- Low-maintenance filtration systems
- Saltwater conversion options
- Automation for cleaning and lighting
- Help from our in-store services and expert water testing
