Plunge Pools Melbourne
With Melbourne blocks getting smaller and backyards shrinking, many homeowners assume a pool is off the table. At Albatross Pools, we disagree. Our custom plunge pools are designed to fit your specific outdoor space, whether that's a narrow courtyard, a compact backyard or a challenging site with limited access. Enjoy the style, comfort and long-lasting performance of a full-size pool in a package that works for your home.
What is a Plunge Pool?
A plunge pool is typically any small pool up to 5 metres long and 3 metres wide, custom designed to suit a limited outdoor space. The exact dimensions are determined by the space available and the client's brief. As a general rule, a pool smaller than 3 metres long and 1.5 metres wide becomes impractical from a usability standpoint.
Plunge Pool Sizes: What Will Fit in Your Backyard?
Plunge pool sizes vary depending on your available space and how you intend to use the pool. Most plunge pools fall between 3 and 5 metres in length and 1.5 to 3 metres in width. Rectangular, circular and custom-shaped options are all available at Albatross Pools, with dimensions determined by the site conditions and your lifestyle goals.
Why Choose a Plunge Pool?
Good things come in small packages. Plunge pools are designed to maximise limited outdoor areas, including small backyards, courtyards and narrow front yards. Here is what makes them such a popular choice across Melbourne:
- Integrates seamlessly into landscaping and small backyards for premium customisability and aesthetics.
- Optional features such as swim jets, heaters and lighting deliver greater flexibility and year-round use.
- Lower running costs thanks to reduced water volume, efficient power, cost-effective heating and reduced chemical use.
- Less surface area means easier cleaning and lower ongoing maintenance.
- Multifunctional use including fitness, relaxation, hydrotherapy and entertaining.
