There are different types of swimming pools. The most common pool styles are play pool, freeform pool, geometric pool, lap pool, diving pool, infinity pool, spool, and the perimeter overflow pool.

The play pool:
A play pool is quite shallow (Typically no deeper than 1.8m). Play pools can have a fun design, and are often created in different shapes.

The freeform pool:
A freeform pool is built generally to imitate a natural lagoon pool or small oasis. It will have a natural uneven shape, and will often have features around it like rocks and waterfalls to compliment the naturalistic style.

The geometric pool:
A geometric pool has even lines and features. Usually built in a rectangular shape, this pool is considered the "traditional swimming pool" style.

The lap pool:
Lap pools are built so that people can swim laps for health and fitness. They tend to be long and narrow.

The diving pool:
These pools are built deep; diving pools are usually 1.8 - 2.5m deep with a diving board or platform.

The infinity pool:
Infinity swimming pools (also referred to as infinity edge swimming pools, or negative edge pools) give the illusion that the edge of the pool extends to the horizon. This gives an optical illusion that the pool "has no edge", and looks as if the pool goes on to infinity.

The spool:
The word "spool" is a combination of the two words spa and pool. The spool is a smaller pool, more commonly seen as a large spa.

The perimeter overflow pool:
This pool is created by having the pool surface’s water level at the same level as the surround of the pool. The water of the pool drains into a notched perimeter around the pool.

I love excellent customer service, and like most people don't like dealing with unreliable and unprofessional individuals or companies. Melbourne Civil & Structural Engineers (or Adam Abdalla) was truly one of the most professional companies I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Not only was Adam extremely knowledgeable and professional but empathetic and understanding, during a most stressful time, which was made all the more easier due to his sympathetic and professional manner. Adam arrived early, inspected the site thoroughly, uncovered hidden truths about the property, suggested solutions and provided answers to questions I didn't even ask. If you like me, like dealing with professional and honest individuals, then Melbourne Civil and Structural Engineers is not only a company you can call on, but a company you can trust.
