Medium Size Pools

Explore medium size pools, compare what fits your backyard, and plan your next steps with Parrot Bay Pools & Spas.

Quick answer

How do I choose a medium size pool for my backyard?

Start with how you want to use the pool and how much yard you want to keep for a patio, seating, and other activities. Compare individual model dimensions rather than relying on the “medium” label, then discuss your property and preferences with Parrot Bay Pools & Spas.

Step 1 - Start with your backyard

Is a medium size pool right for your backyard?

A medium size pool is worth exploring if you want swimming space while keeping room for the rest of your backyard. The right fit depends on the individual pool design and how you plan to use the surrounding area.

Before comparing models, make a short list of your priorities:

  • How you expect to use the pool: swimming, playing, relaxing, or a combination.
  • Where you want seating, dining, and space to walk around the pool.
  • Which parts of your yard you want to keep open.
  • Whether features such as a tanning ledge or spa matter to you.

Bring yard photos and any property information you have to your consultation so you can discuss the whole backyard, not just the pool.

What this means for you: Choose a pool around your daily use and the space around it, not just its size category.

Which medium size pool should you consider?

Use the pool listings below as a starting point. Check each model’s dimensions and layout, and note the designs you want to discuss with Parrot Bay.

When comparing designs, look at how steps, seating, and any ledges affect the space available for swimming. Ask which features belong to the model and which would require separate planning.

Parrot Bay Pools & Spas builds fiberglass and custom concrete pools and is an authorized River Pools fiberglass dealer. If you are unsure which approach fits your plans, ask about both before narrowing your choices.

What should you discuss before choosing a pool?

Pool selection is only part of planning your project. Discuss your preferred design alongside the patio, yard access, and any additional features you are considering.

  • Budget: Ask what the proposed scope includes and what would be priced separately.
  • Property: Ask how your yard and installation access could affect the plan.
  • Features: Identify the features you want to prioritize and those you could leave out.
  • Process: Ask what information is needed to evaluate your project and explain the next steps.

For background before your conversation, read the inground pool cost guide and the fiberglass pool construction process.

What this means for you: Ask for a clearly defined project scope so you can compare more than the pool itself.
