There are now many solutions on the market that are suitable for all types of land and surfaces. However, before taking the plunge, it is advisable to think carefully about your investment and take into account the shape, size, design and budget required. Swimming pool construction in Geneva: How to choose the right pool? Which structure should you choose? We explain!
Choosing the right pool liner is essential, both from an aesthetic and a technical point of view, as it makes the pool watertight. A distinction must be made between liners that are independent of the substrate, such as the liner, reinforced PVC, polyester or coating. Then there are the dependent liners (which do not ensure the watertightness of the pool) such as tiles or paint.
Tailor-made pools, get exactly what you want
Whether indoor or outdoor, above-ground or in-ground, covered or not, you can opt for a custom-made swimming pool that is totally personalized to your taste. Made-to-measure pools Our custom-made pools can also meet specific constraints, such as small spaces or unsuitable land.
A swimming pool is an integral part of your garden design. It should fit in as well as possible and, above all, you should like it. If you are looking for something unique that will fit perfectly into your space and is the right size. A custom-made pool is the ideal choice.
In-ground and semi-in-ground pools, a solution adapted to all types of land
The semi-inground pool is a good compromise between the classic in-ground pool and the above ground pool. A semi-inground pool is a pool that is partially in-ground and partially above ground. Its "hybrid" structure allows it to be installed on sloping ground, for example, where it would not have been possible to dig a classic in-ground pool. With variable sizes and shapes, this type of pool will meet all family desires and will adapt perfectly to different types of land, whether sloping or difficult to access.
Indoor swimming pool, enjoy it all year round
The covered pool is enclosed and allows you to enjoy your pool for much longer than a so-called "classic" pool. An indoor pool can be a shell pool, an in-ground pool or even a semi in-ground pool. However, it is very rare to see covered above-ground pools, even if it is technically possible.
A pool cover has many advantages: it allows you to bathe for longer periods of time, for a whole season, or even all year round if you decide to install a heater. A pool cover limits the amount of dirt that settles on the surface of the water and therefore the need for cleaning. Last but not least, it provides safe access to the pool for adults and children.
Above ground pool, ideal for avoiding major earthworks
The principle of an above-ground pool, as its name indicates, is that it is not buried in the ground. As a result, it is easy to install because it does not require heavy earthworks, which considerably reduces its price.
If you are interested in this type of structure, we advise you to opt for an above-ground swimming pool in kit form. They are therefore more solid and more comfortable than inflatable pools, while being very affordable and easy to install in a garden.
Reinforced concrete pool, a solid and durable result
Many people choose reinforced concrete for the construction of their swimming pool. This is because it is a material that has proven its strength. The traditional reinforced concrete pool is a pool built exclusively or mainly with concrete. Concrete is a mixture of aggregates, sand, cement and water. It is currently the most widely used material in the world.
The concrete pool is known for its strength and longevity, which explains the slightly higher cost. It is made up of a reinforcement designed to consolidate your pool. The concrete is then sprayed onto the pool's frame. A swimming pool made of reinforced concrete is a pool that guarantees solidity and durability. It will stand the test of time, so you can enjoy it for many years.
Tiled pool, a unique and customisable design
Tiling for swimming pools is a quality coating that is resistant to time and weather. Smooth and robust, tiles are the material of choice for your pool.
Aesthetic and modern, tiles are one of the most popular materials. There is a wide choice of colours and compositions. Depending on your preferences, you can cover the entire pool in the same tone or arrange the tiles to form a frieze, a monochrome or a design on the bottom and sides. There are no restrictions, you can do whatever you like.
There is a multitude of coverings on the market: tiles, natural stone, glass paste, enamel or ceramic tiles. The natural stone or ceramic tiles allow an extension of your pool and give an aspect of infinity combined with a mirror pool. Once the construction of your pool is complete, you can enjoy the pleasure of owning an original, unique and totally personalised pool.
Reinforced PVC pool, a configuration that suits all pools
The reinforced PVC membrane is suitable for all shapes and sizes of pools. Unlike a liner, which is a custom-made pocket, reinforced PVC membranes are welded in place. This means that they can be adapted to all pool shapes: freeform, swim lane, overflow pool. It has an average thickness of 150/100 and its characteristics make it a waterproof and pleasant to the touch pool liner. It has a longer lifespan than a traditional liner, from 15 to 20 years.
The reinforced PVC membrane ensures and guarantees the total waterproofing of all pools. It can be installed directly on any support and can waterproof all kinds of pools. As far as renovation is concerned, this configuration is particularly recommended for repairing waterproofing problems in traditional pools with shells or masonry and tiled pools.
This pool model has a beautiful finish. The membrane is available in various plain, printed or 3D printed colours. You can order the one you want.

Wood remains a natural, warm material that offers beautiful possibilities for your custom-made pool. In addition, wood is a naturally non-slip material. This prevents falls on wet ground.
When it comes to laying a wooden deck, there are different grades of use for your deck. Wood is graded from 1 to 5 according to its water resistance! For a wooden deck, the use class used is generally class 4, as it can withstand prolonged or permanent dampness.
Pool decking, perfect finishes
Depending on your wishes, you can opt for resistant materials that require little maintenance, such as tiles. If you have children and you are afraid of falling on a slippery floor, then we recommend that you opt for composite wood, which is less hard than stone or tiles and will be more suitable for you.
