Small space, big desire
Small pool
You don't need a large garden to swim at home. On a courtyard, a terrace or a small plot, there's always a solution, for bathing, relaxing and even counter-current swimming.
Why a small pool ?
Swimming, even on a few square metres
A small pool is generally a basin of less than 10 m² or under 6 metres long. It fits in where a large pool is impossible : a small courtyard, a terrace, a city garden, a sloping plot. And thanks to clever equipment, it offers almost everything a large pool provides.
- Installs on a small plot, a terrace or even on a roof
- Heats up quickly and costs less to maintain
- Counter-current swimming possible : you swim on the spot, without laps
- 4-season swimming with a swim spa
- Procedures often simpler than for a large pool

Which small pool for your space ?
Fibreglass, concrete, wood or a swim spa : each technique has its own strengths on a small plot. We help you choose.
Small fibreglass pool
The smallest Aboral models (from around 3 m) are set in place in just a few days, ready to use. The fastest and most economical solution for a small basin.

Small wooden pool
The small wooden models (from 2.5 m) install above ground or semi-inground, without heavy works, and blend naturally into a city garden.

Your questions
Everything about the small pool
What minimum surface do you need for a pool ?
A few square metres are enough. A small pool is often less than 10 m² (for example 4 × 2 m). They can be installed on small courtyards, terraces and even load-bearing roofs.
Can you swim in a small pool ?
Yes, thanks to counter-current swimming : a pump creates a current you swim against on the spot, with no need for length. The swim spa is designed exactly for this.
Does a small pool require a permit ?
The procedures are often simpler than for a large pool, but they depend on the canton, the municipality and the type of installation. We guide you according to your situation.
Fibreglass, concrete, wood or a swim spa : how to choose ?
Fibreglass is the fastest and most economical ; concrete adapts to the centimetre ; wood installs without heavy works ; the swim spa lets you swim and relax across 4 seasons. We advise you according to your space, your wishes and your budget.
Does a small pool cost less ?
Generally yes : less excavation, fewer materials, less water and maintenance. The price does depend, however, on the chosen technique and the equipment : request a quote for an accurate estimate.
Can you use it all year round ?
Yes, with a heated swim spa : the water stays at temperature all year round, for swimming and relaxing even in winter. A classic small pool can also be heated to extend the season.
