A recreational swimming pool is built for one thing: family weekends. Games, floats, cannonballs, cousins, neighbors, and a yard that becomes the default gathering spot from spring break to Halloween.
Who it’s for
This is the pool for families with kids, hosts who like a crowd, and anyone whose measure of a good pool is how much laughing happens in it. Function beats form, and the form still looks great.
Designed for how families actually swim
Recreational pools earn their keep with smart zoning: shallow areas where younger swimmers can stand, open water for games, benches and ledges where adults supervise without baking on the deck. Add-ons like slides, basketball goals, and tanning ledges get planned into the structure, not bolted on after.
Durability matters more here than in any other pool type. Heavy use, toys, and constant splash-out call for tough finishes and equipment sized for real load, which is exactly what the design phase settles before we build.
If your crew is mostly under age 8 for now, look at the kiddie pool as a starting point. Otherwise, call (504) 688-4066 and let’s design the pool your backyard barbecues deserve.

Recreational Swimming Pool FAQs
How much will my recreational swimming pool project cost?
It depends on the size, the materials, and what your site needs for excavation and drainage. You get a written estimate after a free on-site consultation, before any work starts.
Is the recreational swimming pool the right fit for my yard?
That's exactly what the free design consultation answers. We look at your lot, drainage, and how you'll use the space, then tell you honestly whether this style fits or another one serves you better.
How long will the project take?
It depends on the design, permitting, and the weather. You get a written schedule at design approval, and the same crew sees it through to the final walkthrough.
