Oval inground pools have curved sides and are geometric shapes. Pools with an oval shape are less prevalent. It's one of the main draws for people looking for something other than the usual "backyard pool."
Design Benefits: Inground pools in the shape of an oval are most commonly found in Victorian-era residences.
Common Features: Slip-resistant steps are included in oval-shaped swimming pools.
Considerations: They require a little more space and are better suited to larger backyards.
