Family Swimming Pools Melbourne
Albatross Pools designs and builds award-winning family swimming pools for Melbourne backyards. Family-owned and operated since 1969, we build fully customised inground pools tailored to the way your family lives, from generous wading areas for young swimmers to swim-outs with spa jets for the adults. Our pools are MPBAA award-winning, built to last, and backed by display centres in Dandenong and Warrandyte where you can swim in one before you commit.
Custom Family Swimming Pools Designed for Melbourne Backyards
Every Melbourne backyard is different, and every family is different. Whether you are building on a compact suburban block or a large corner block, Albatross Pools works with your available space, your budget, and the way your family likes to spend time together. We design and build fully customised inground pools, so you are never choosing from a limited catalogue of shapes and sizes. Your pool is designed from the ground up to suit your outdoor area and your lifestyle.
From shallow wading areas where young children can build their water confidence, to deep central profiles perfect for water games and supervised diving, every element of your Albatross family pool can be shaped around the people who will use it most.
Fully Customised Family Pools Available Now
Wading Areas
Large, shallow wading areas give young children a safe and spacious zone to play, splash, and build their confidence in the water. Unlike a standard shallow end, wading areas are designed specifically for small swimmers and can be separated from the deeper sections of the pool with a gentle gradient or a raised beam.
Swim-Outs
Positioned outside the main swimming area, a swim-out is a recessed ledge where family members can sit in the water and relax. Popular with teenagers and adults, swim-outs can also be fitted with spa jets to create a hydrotherapy-style experience within your pool. They are a practical addition for families who want to get the most out of poolside time.
Entry Steps and Step Design
A well-designed entry step system makes your pool accessible for every member of the family, from young children taking their first dip to older relatives who need a more gradual entry. Albatross Pools designs step configurations to suit your pool shape, your available space, and your family's physical needs.
Pool Floor Profile
The pool floor profile determines where the water is deep and where it is shallow. Albatross Pools can position the deepest point in the centre of the pool, which is ideal for families who like to play water sports or want a safe space for supervised diving. Alternatively, a uniform single-depth floor is a practical choice for households with young children or for therapeutic use. Your Albatross pool designer will advise on the profile that best suits your family.
Pool Shape and Size
Albatross Pools builds fully custom pool shapes. You are not limited to a rectangle or a standard kidney. Freeform designs with curves are popular with families because they feel like a natural lagoon and are great fun for children. Your pool shape is designed around your outdoor space, so it makes the most of what you have available.
Sanitisation System Options
For families with sensitive skin, allergies, or young children who spend long hours in the water, the choice of sanitisation system matters. Albatross Pools offers the Ionic Fresh Water System as an alternative to chlorine or saltwater. Gentle on skin, eyes, and hair, an ionic pool has no chemical smell or aftertaste. The majority of our display pools run on Ionic, and you are welcome to try one at our Dandenong or Warrandyte display centres.
Aqualux Child-Friendly Pool Interior
Young children's skin is more sensitive to rough surfaces, and standard pebble or concrete pool interiors can cause grazing with extended use. Albatross Pools uses Aqualux, a satin-smooth PVC membrane interior that is gentle on young skin and available in a range of colours to complement your backyard design.
Why Melbourne Families Choose Albatross Pools
Albatross Pools has been building family swimming pools in Melbourne since 1969. As a family-owned and operated business, we understand what families are looking for and we build our pools to reflect that. Every Albatross pool is a custom inground steel pool, MPBAA award-winning, and designed specifically for the family and the backyard it is going into.
We build pools that are made to last. Our team manages the entire process from design and council permits through to handover and after-sales support. Our display centres in Dandenong and Warrandyte are open most days and staffed by people who know pools, so you can ask every question before you commit.
