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
Safety doesn’t have to be an afterthought. We help families incorporate:
- 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
We also work closely with clients to make sure your setup is safe without sacrificing style.
3. Built-In Seating and Shade
A great family pool isn’t just about swimming—it’s about relaxing. We often recommend:
- 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
These touches keep adults comfortable while still being close to the action.
4. Space to Play—and Grow
Think beyond this summer. We help families plan layouts that include:
- 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)
Looking to upgrade in stages? Our pool services team can help you plan and phase enhancements over time.
5. Easy Maintenance Keeps the Fun Going
Let’s face it—no one wants to spend more time cleaning than swimming. We recommend:
- Low-maintenance filtration systems
- Saltwater conversion options
- Automation for cleaning and lighting
- Help from our in-store services and expert water testing
You can also schedule regular cleanings with our service plans to make upkeep a breeze.
