Pictures of Swimming Pools | Shapes, Sizes, Paving and Waterfalls

Pictures of swimming pools can be helpful if you are making decisions about a pool. It might be the shape, size or various other aspects of the design.

Here I have shown some swimming pool pictures. Many of them are of my own projects.

You will also find some comments on each one regarding things that I think are important to the design or interesting. They are all inground pool pictures, yet some are concrete and others are vinyl liner pools.


Here is a picture of a swimming pool on a lake. The pool decking is concrete, but it still looks nice.

How can it not with the view of the lake!

Consider a rectangular shape if you want an automatic pool cover, as it will work the best with this pool design.



Pool spas can either be part of the swimming pool or can be located in a separate area. Here, the spa was designed for easy access, set with steps on either side. Alternatively, spas can be set in the deeper end and also be a waterfall, with water flowing from the spa into the pool.


Natural pools are something that many want. Here is a pool pciture showing how if it blends into the surroundings it can look lovely.

Natural stone set in concrete was used for the paving. The stone is called Apple Creek, and the advantage of this stone over bluestone is that it is cooler on the feet.

Here is another natural pool. Natural looking tumbled concrete pavers were used with a boulder set at the water's edge for interest and seating.

Bluestone walks worked well with this pool paving choice.

There is also a large waterfall which can be enjoyed.

What would pictures of swimming pools be without one showing a waterfall?

Large stones were selected to blend with the stone paving of the pool decking.

This is a gunite pool which has a raised stone wall for drama.


Vinyl liner pools can look very natural, particularly if a nice pool coping is used.

You probably wouldn't know that this was not a concrete pool.

Pavers were used with a matching coping.

The pool waterfall became the focal point.
