Specialist in polyester shell pools, Aboral offers a range of sloping bottom pools, available in different shapes and sizes. Before making your choice on the inclination criteria, you should ask yourself what use you will make of it and who will be the users of your pool.
Sloped-bottom shell pools have the advantage of being equipped with a progressive pool. This type of inclination allows everyone to enter the water smoothly. There is thus a small bath in which the children have their feet, as well as a large bath where the adults will like it and where it will be possible to dive.
The sloping bottom pool, also called a gently sloping pool, has a depth of between 1m and 1m50 for the small pool and a depth of between 1m50 and 2m for the large pool. This type of recline is ideal for families, from the biggest to the smallest. With the shell swimming pool with a progressive bottom, the little ones can play quietly where they have their feet. As for the older ones, they can take advantage of the deeper pool to swim, relax and even dive.
What are the disadvantages of a sloping bottom pool?
The sloping bottom swimming pool has many advantages but it must have negative points. The first point to emphasize is that the large bath of your swimming pool will by definition be shorter than that of a flat-bottomed swimming pool and therefore will reduce the swimming space, but isn’t that the price to pay for a swimming pool? suitable for everyone? The second negative point will concern the large bath, if the latter is deep it will allow you to dive without worries but pay attention to the temperature! A larger volume of water will be more difficult to heat so think about it if you want to buy a sloping bottom pool!
