The Best Pool Trends of 2025: Bold, Smart & Built for Year-Round Enjoyment

How? By designing pools that transition seamlessly from summer to winter, with heated elements, insulated materials, and dual-purpose designs that let you swim in July and soak in January.

How to Make Your Pool an All-Season Oasis

• Heated Pool Covers: Keep heat trapped and snow out, reducing energy costs in colder months.
• Hybrid Pool & Hot Tub Designs: A pool that can switch between heated and cool modes means it’s usable year-round.
• Geo-Thermal Heating Systems: A more sustainable way to keep water warm even in Calgary’s deep freeze.
• Retractable Enclosures: Think of it as a glass-walled sunroom over your pool—you can swim outside when it’s warm and enclose it when it’s not.

Pro Tip: A heated pool in winter is a luxury, but a heated pool with an automatic thermal cover? That’s smart design. It keeps your pool ready to use while slashing energy costs.

Instead of relying on harsh chemicals and high-maintenance systems, these pools clean themselves naturally, using a combination of plants, biofilters, and innovative filtration technology.

What’s Trending in Eco-Friendly Pool Design?

• ✔ Chemical-Free, Natural Pools: No chlorine, no chemicals—just clean water filtered by natural plant ecosystems.
• ✔ Self-Cleaning Technology: Robotic skimmers and AI-powered pool maintenance systems keep water crystal-clear with zero effort.
• ✔ Saltwater Conversions: A gentler, more natural alternative to traditional chlorine pools.
• ✔ Solar-Powered Heating: Harness the abundant sunlight in Calgary summers to reduce energy costs.

💡 Pro Tip: A natural pool isn’t just a pool—it’s a living ecosystem. If you love the idea of a swimming pond with clean, chemical-free water, this is the way to go.

If you’ve ever lounged in the shallow, sun-soaked part of a resort pool, that’s a Baja shelf—and it’s becoming a must-have in luxury backyard pools.

Baja shelves (also called tanning ledges) are shallow, wide ledges built into the pool, perfect for lounging, sunbathing, or letting kids splash around safely.

• ✔ Built-in Lounge Chairs: Think of a waterproof daybed right in the shallow end.
• ✔ Integrated Umbrellas & Shade Features: Perfect for staying cool while lounging in the water.
• ✔ Sunken Fire Pits: A fire pit area that sits flush with the pool’s water level? Yes, please.
• ✔ Swim-Up Bars: Why leave your pool to grab a drink when you can have a sunken bar built in?

💡 Pro Tip: A well-designed Baja shelf can double as a kid-friendly splash zone and an adult-friendly relaxation space.
