It’s all about the fun!
Owning a pool is such a great experience! It's always fun but boy they can be a blast when hanging out with a group of family and friends playing pool games and making lifelong memories!
Some pools are more suited for pool sports and games over others.
Certainly, you can play games in all pools. However, you may consider who will be playing and what games or sports you might play.
Is there a deep end and will the deep end be a positive or a negative for the fun?
What happens to the team treading water?
San Juan Fiberglass Pools made three perfect pools for volleyball, basketball and other games and sports.
The Dolphin, The Pheonix, and The Mirage were designed with having Sports and games in mind! Each pool is spacious and has entry and exits on both ends of the pool. They all three have a 5’ deep center rather than a deep end.
That means if you added a volleyball net it would be center of the deepest section of the pool and the players front and back rows are all on equal playing fields.
In a typical pool with a deep end the players in the deep end would have to tread water all the time during game play. but not in our San Juan Sport Pools.
The Dolphin, The Pheonix, and The Mirage, let's take a look at the features each provide.
The Dolphin, is the smallest of the three but is the perfect sport pool for smaller backyard spaces. It's just big enough for sports and games but small enough to leave some area for other things in your backyard space.
The Phoenix and the Mirage are both big pools that provide lots of game space and excellent for all games and sports you might play.
The Phoenix has nice size step sections on both ends that include spectator seating on each end! This is a great party pool and is also perfect for a quiet day of relaxing and floating on a raft as well. you really can't go wrong with this pool. It is perfect for every family.
The Mirage has it all and is the most different of the three San Juan Sport pools.
It’s an elegant free form shaped pool rather than a rectangular like most sport pools. The mirage features, swim out seats on both sides of the pool at the center deep section. This is a great feature ass it's a good place to rest while deep swimming for coins and dive sticks in the deep section. Its entry and exit steps on each end also have seats for spectators. What is really cool is the step sections on each end are off set leaving an open lane from one end of the pool to the other for swimming laps and flip turns!
No matter what San Juan Fiberglass Pool, you choose we know you will love it.
But when making your choice be sure to figure out how you plan to entertain? What do you want to do in your pool? Who will be using the pool over the years? What ages will likely use the pool? How will the pool fit your needs? This will help you make the right choice for your San Juan Purchase.
