There are three main types of pool bases. Here too, your choice is going to depend on the use that you intend for your pool :

The curved base
The curved base is the popular favourite because it provides both a shallow end and a deep end : a place for children to play and a place for adults to swim.

The flat base
The flat base lets the whole family play together at a uniform depth, an additional convenience for enjoying the pleasures of the water.

The diving base
With its steep bases and deep end, the diving base is your best choice for diving and serious swimming.

Your choice of swimming pool base will determine how your liner is made & supplied. Please note that :

• For a curved base (with or without safety ledge) : standard liner delivered with pool (provided that certain constraints on the depths are satisfied, see opposite).
• For a flat base with safety ledge : custom liner.
• For a diving base : custom liner.

Using a standard liner means that there are maximum depths that depend on the size of your pool. To calculate the maximum depth of the deep end of your swimming pool, use the following method calculation: 1/2 width x 0.30 + 1.10 m.

The safety ledge
The safety ledge around the pool, 1.10 m below the coping, makes it so much easier to move about in your swimming pool, but does not interfere with swimming or diving. It also lets you rest, or talk without having to hang onto the edge ! Finally, it makes it safer for children who can quickly stand up at the walls of the pool should they get tired or in difficulty.
