    Because a pool holds such a large volume of water, you will have to control humidity in your pool room, and in adjacent areas.  You have to keep the humidity low to prevent condensation from forming on indoor surfaces. This why the planning stages are so critical when designing your indoor pool.

    If you think your pool has to be a certain shape, such as the typical rectangular shape – think again! Once you have decided on placement of your pool,  you can get creative on design. For instance, you could have the pool overflow its rim into a beautiful garden.

    Another popular indoor pool design idea is to have one part of your pool outdoors and one part indoors. Glass doors could be fashioned to close over the middle.
