Inground Vinyl Lap Pools
The Affordable Lap Pool of the Future Starting at $49,995
Training like an Olympian is not reserved for special facilities, it can now be an affordable reality in your own backyard.
Enjoy all the same benefits of in ground vinyl lined pools and none of the drawbacks of the traditional expensive concrete/gunite style pool concerns. The elephant in the room is obviously price. A vinyl lined pool is significantly more affordable to install, maintain and enjoy more quickly - Of course, we all know the phrase "time is money." The sooner you're able to turn your backyard into the ideal environment for laps and aquatic exercise the sooner you're able to benefit. A vinyl lined pool answers both with substantial advantage of generally faster build times and measurable savings on your total backyard investment.
Secondly, it's clear, to-the-touch there is no comparison between the rough, abrasive surface of concrete and the welcoming, smooth touch of vinyl in a pool environment. All the big pools we're familiar with at public water parks or YMCA facilities or hotels have something in common, they're abrasive. You don't have to 'get used to it’, There is a BETTER WAY – Vinyl is extremely tough & resilient but also smooth to the touch, a vinyl lined lap pool is the obvious choice for comfort, durability and affordability.
Whats included with an Inground Vinyl Pool?
Everything! Well, almost everything. Don’t be fooled by other ads out there for “Pool packages starting at only $40,000!” Their price doesn’t include a number of necessary items such as permits, decking and more. Our in ground vinyl pool prices include all necessary permits, excavation, dirt haul, electrical, coping, decking, lighting, filtration equipment and best of yet, our smiling faces. I know what you’re thinking now. What’s not included? I hate to say that you’re on your own for the water and the sun tan lotion. Sorry.
Vinyl?
Yes, vinyl! Vinyl swimming pools originated on the east coast to offer an option that could better flex with the ground’s freeze/thaw cycles. See, when the ground freezes, gunite (concrete) pools tend to crack. Now a days vinyl pools take up a large percentage of all pools built east of the Mississippi. Here in the Golden state, we adopted vinyl for its flexibility, affordability and the big one its earthquake resistant! Yep, I said it, earthquake resistant. Our in ground vinyl pools have been proven to stand up against shakers up to a 7.5 magnitude with no damage.
Vinyl (a natural insulator) also tends to keep pools 5 – 10 degrees warmer throughout the year. Additionally, because vinyl is a non porous surface it’s much easier to clean. There’s no need to ever acid wash, or feel the burn of scrubbing stains as you do in a concrete pool. The soft nature of vinyl is probably one of its best claims to fame. Have you ever used a slip and slide? Wet it down, run, jump and glide down to the cool abyss at the end of the mat with an ear to ear grin. Now try bellowing down the sidewalk head first in a swim suit and you’ll understand.
Consultation
“A picture is worth a thousand words”. That’s a great quote but we feel that actually touching a product is worth a million. While we’re very proud of ourselves for this website and all of the pretty pictures, we really want you to meet our products face to face. We have an Islander® pool on display at every one of our five locations. Touch it, feel it, swim in it! Once you’ve dried off, one of our representatives will discuss information with you that will help us in the design process such as potential size, layout, available options, and financing plans.
On Site Design
One of our expert designers will come to your home to meet with you for the next step in the design process. We’ll measure the yard, consider the location for sunlight and usability and narrow down what best meets your vision.
Plans & Permits
Once we’ve determined your desired options, details and features, site and engineering plans will be drafted specific to your design. These plans will aid us in working with you through the permit process as well as a schematic for the construction of your new pool. At this point you will also be connected with our construction department to discuss the schedule for your project.
Breaking Ground
Ready, set, dig! This is the first phase in the actual construction process at your home. Demolition, grading and excavation of the pool interior can typically be completed in 1-2 days.
Structural Assembly
In this phase, we will construct the interior block wall and any raised sections you may have optioned for. The pre decking steel will also be laid and your pool is beginning to take shape.
Plumbing & Electrical
This portion of the project entails us trenching and running all plumbing and electrical for your filtration, lighting and any water features.
Coping & Decking
The waters edge is now given its cap and our specialized masons now pour the pools deck.
Just Add Water!
Once the liner is installed, your pool really starts to take on a personality. The vibrant colors of the liner and the glistening fresh water are going to beg for cannonballs and backstrokes.
Finishing Touches
Once we’ve finalized the installation process and fine tuned everything, your representative will come to your home to do a final consultation. We arm you with all of the necessary tools to maintain your pool, up to a 3 month supply of chemicals and walk you through every component of the pool and their operation.
We don’t leave until you have a strong confidence of your pools functions and maintenance practices. Additionally, with the purchase of your new pool comes unlimited free lifetime water testing. Just bring a sample of your pool’s water to any of our retail locations and we will analyze it to help you keep your pool sparkling for many years.
Enjoy
Now you’re ready. Light the bar-b-q, kick on the stereo and dust off your snorkel. It’s time for your first pool party.
