Plunge pools are smaller and shallower than traditional swimming pools, but they offer some great benefits. If you have limited space, a small backyard plunge pool is the perfect choice.
You can have an above ground plunge pool or an inground plunge pool, which one you choose will depend on your backyard and landscaping plan.
If you want somewhere to take a dip after a hot day or cool off after hitting the gym – without sacrificing too much space, money or time – a plunge pool is a great choice.
A plunge pool is a small swimming pool that is better suited for quick dips and plunges rather than full laps (unless you have a swim jet – more about that below). They usually have a constant depth – meaning there is no shallow or deep end, this makes them perfect for playing swimming games like tag or water polo with the family. A DIY plunge pool can be made from concrete, fibreglass, or vinyl liner.
Although you can’t do laps in a plunge pool, they are great for low-impact workouts and relaxation. Plunge pools are also ideal for aqua yoga and water aerobics. Or, if you’re not in the mood for exercise, simply float and soak in the water! When you use mineral salts in the water, you will get all the added benefits of magnesium which is known for its therapeutic properties, and swimming in a magnesium-enriched pool can promote relaxation and alleviate stress.
