Features That Define Lap Pools
Extended Linear Proportions
Typically 40 to 50 feet long and 8 to 10 feet wide, lap pools maximize swim space while leaving room for patios and landscaping.
Consistent Depth for Performance
A consistent 4- to 5-foot depth creates predictable swimming conditions for lap swimming, fitness, and aquatic exercise.
Integrated "Offset" Entry Steps
Offset steps and benches keep the swim lane clear, creating an uninterrupted space for exercise while maintaining easy pool access.
High-Visibility Lane Markings
Optional glass tile or pebble lane markings create a professional look while helping swimmers stay aligned during workouts.
Modern Perimeter Overflow Edges
Optional perimeter overflow edges create a seamless, mirror-like water surface that enhances the lap pool's clean, geometric design.

Custom New Pool Build
We exclusively build fully custom gunite (concrete) pools designed for Florida's high water tables and coastal soils. Every pool is backed by our transferable lifetime structural warranty, and we've successfully completed projects for more than 20,000 families with a 100% project completion rate.
Pool Remodeling and Renovation
Modernize your existing pool with a comprehensive remodel, including custom spas, water features, updated finishes, and SmartFeatures® automation for easier pool care and improved water and energy efficiency.
Pool Deck Resurfacing
Refresh your outdoor living space with durable deck resurfacing using travertine, marble, or brick pavers. These premium materials stay cooler underfoot while providing lasting performance in Florida's climate.
Our Build Process
Our Build Process
The journey begins with an initial consultation, budget alignment, and a thorough site evaluation to account for constraints like setbacks, drainage, and elevations.
You will collaborate with a Design Ambassador to finalize 3D renderings and a custom gunite pool layout, while the Blue Haven team handles the heavy lifting of engineering coordination, HOA documentation, and municipal permitting.
Once approved, the dedicated local construction team begins the pool excavation, which is quickly followed by steel and rebar installation.
Next, they construct the steel-reinforced gunite shell, which is engineered specifically to withstand ground pressure and high water tables, and is backed by a transferable lifetime structural warranty.
With the shell in place, the team installs the complete plumbing and circulation systems, alongside all necessary electrical and bonding work.
During this phase, they also install your pool equipment, including pumps, filters, heaters, and the exclusive automated SmartFeatures® designed to make pool care virtually effortless.
This is the phase where your design truly comes to life. The team installs your selected waterline tile, glass accents, and coping. The pool interior is then coated with your chosen plaster, such as a highly durable quartz or premium pebble finish.
Finally, the decking and hardscape, whether travertine, marble, or concrete pavers, are meticulously laid out, and custom enhancements like LED lighting, sheer descents, or fire bowls are integrated.
The construction process concludes with the initial pool startup and a post-build walk-through (often called "pool school") to ensure you know exactly how to operate your new backyard features. Long after the project is completed, you are fully supported by Blue Haven's dedicated in-house warranty department for any future needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
While lengths can be customized, a standard lap pool is usually at least 40 feet long to allow for meaningful stroke counts. However, if your yard is shorter, we can install a "swim current" system to provide infinite resistance in a more compact footprint.
Absolutely. Many Florida families add a "tanning ledge" or a small "spa bump-out" at one end of the lap lane. This creates a dedicated zone for relaxation and play without interfering with the primary swimming area.
No. While designed for swimming laps, many lap pools also include seating areas, tanning ledges, and integrated spas for everyday enjoyment.
Yes. Swim current systems create adjustable resistance, allowing you to swim continuously without requiring the length of a traditional lap pool.
Yes. Lap pools can be customized for Florida properties of all sizes and are often paired with outdoor living spaces for year-round enjoyment.
