A beach entry fiberglass pool is perfect for a fun, family-friendly backyard oasis. At Dream Pools & Spas in Paducah, KY, we offer beautiful beach entry designs from Thursday Pools that feel like a trip to the shore. These pools are safe, stylish, and great for families of all ages. This guide will help you design a beach entry fiberglass pool that brings joy to your family gatherings.

Beach entry pools have a gentle slope like a natural shoreline, making them easy to enter and safe for kids. With Thursday Pools’ innovative designs, you can customize your pool to fit your yard and lifestyle. Let’s explore how to create a pool that’s perfect for splashing, relaxing, and making memories with your family.

Why Choose a Beach Entry Fiberglass Pool?

Beach entry fiberglass pools are ideal for families. The gradual slope lets kids and adults wade in safely, without steep steps or ladders. These pools are low-maintenance, durable, and made with Thursday Pools’ ISO-certified shells. They’re also faster to install than gunite pools, so your family can enjoy them sooner.

At Dream Pools & Spas, we love how beach entry pools blend fun and style. They create a welcoming space for family gatherings, from toddler splash time to teen pool parties. With the right features and landscaping, they become a stunning backyard centerpiece.

Step 1: Assess Your Backyard Space

Start by checking your backyard’s size and layout. Beach entry pools need a larger footprint because of the gradual slope. Measure your yard and note any slopes, trees, or structures that might affect the design. A flat area is best, but Thursday Pools’ designs can adapt to different spaces.

Talk to your builder about your yard’s limits. At Dream Pools & Spas, we visit your property in Paducah, KY, to ensure your pool fits perfectly. This helps you choose a size and shape that maximizes fun without overwhelming your space.

Step 2: Pick the Right Pool Size and Shape

Thursday Pools offers beach entry designs in various sizes, like the versatile Aspen or the spacious Goliath. For family fun, consider a medium to large pool, around 26 to 41 feet, to give everyone room to play. Freeform or curved shapes create a natural, beachy feel that kids love.

Think about how your family will use the pool. A wider beach entry is great for lounging and playing, while a longer pool suits older kids who want to swim. We’ll help you pick a Thursday Pools model that fits your yard and family’s needs.

Step 3: Add Family-Friendly Features

Make your beach entry pool even more fun with these features:

  • Tanning Ledges: Add a shallow ledge for parents to relax while watching kids play. It’s also great for young swimmers to rest.

  • Benches: Built-in seating lets family members chat or take a break.

  • Water Features: A small waterfall or bubbler adds excitement for kids and a playful vibe.

  • Non-Slip Surfaces: Ensure the beach entry has a textured finish for safety, especially for little feet.

  • Lighting: LED lights make evening swims magical and safe, perfect for family pool nights.

These additions create a fun, safe space for everyone. Dream Pools & Spas can customize your Thursday Pools design with features your family will love.

Step 4: Choose a Vibrant Color

Color sets the tone for your pool’s fun vibe. Thursday Pools offers glossy, durable finishes in shades like:

  • Aqua Blue: A bright, tropical hue that feels lively and kid-friendly.

  • Coral Blue: A turquoise shade that evokes a beach getaway.

  • Crystal White: A crisp, clean look that sparkles in the sun, great for families.

  • Sapphire Blue: A classic blue that’s versatile and welcoming.

Lighter colors like Crystal White make the water look inviting and easier to monitor for safety. Darker shades like Sapphire Blue create a deeper, ocean-like feel. We’ll show you samples to pick the perfect color for your family’s oasis.

Step 5: Plan the Surrounding Area

The area around your pool boosts its family-friendly appeal. Use non-slip materials like textured concrete or pavers for the deck to keep kids safe. Add a spacious patio for chairs, tables, or a grill for easy family barbecues. Plants or low fences can create a cozy, safe boundary for young kids.

Lighting is key for evening fun. Soft LED lights around the pool or paths ensure safety and add a playful glow. Our team at Dream Pools & Spas can design a surrounding area that’s practical and beautiful.

Step 6: Focus on Safety

Safety is crucial for a family pool. The beach entry’s gradual slope is naturally safer for kids than deep-end pools, but add these features for extra protection:

  • Fencing: Install a pool fence with a self-latching gate to keep young kids out when unsupervised.

  • Alarms: Use pool alarms to alert you if someone enters the water unexpectedly.

  • Clear Rules: Set family pool rules, like no running or diving, to prevent accidents.

We’ll work with you to meet local safety codes in Paducah, KY, and suggest features to keep your pool worry-free.

Step 7: Work with a Trusted Builder

A beach entry fiberglass pool needs a skilled installer to get it right. At Dream Pools & Spas, we’re experts in Thursday Pools installations, with years of experience creating family-friendly pools. We’ll guide you through the design process, from choosing the model to adding custom features.

Our team ensures your pool is installed quickly and matches your vision. We handle everything, so you can focus on planning family fun in your new pool.
