Exploring Recreational Pool Features with National Pools of Roanoke

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of diving into a pool that’s thoughtfully designed to provide both relaxation and endless fun. Whether you envision a tranquil escape where you can unwind after a long day or a vibrant, action-packed backyard oasis for family and friends to enjoy, the right features can completely transform your pool into a personal paradise.

At National Pools of Roanoke, we believe that your pool should be so much more than just a place to swim—it should be a destination for enjoyment, entertainment, and lasting memories. From exciting water features that add a playful touch to luxurious elements that enhance comfort, the right additions can elevate your swimming experience to a whole new level.

No matter your vision, we’re here to help bring it to life. Let’s dive into some of the top recreational pool features that can turn your backyard into the ultimate getaway!

Sun Shelves: Your Own Private Paradise

If you love the idea of soaking up the sun while staying cool, a sun shelf—also known as a tanning ledge—is the perfect addition to your pool. These shallow, spacious platforms allow you to recline in the water without fully submerging. Imagine yourself lounging with a refreshing drink in hand, or even placing a comfortable chair right in the water for the ultimate relaxation experience. Sun shelves are also a great spot for little ones to splash around safely. Add a few bubblers for a fun, spa-like effect, and you’ve got the perfect sun-soaked escape without ever leaving your backyard.

Custom Steps: Making an Entrance in Style

Gone are the days of basic pool ladders! Custom steps add both elegance and accessibility to your pool. Whether you prefer sleek, modern designs or gently curved steps that enhance the natural look of your pool, National Pools of Roanoke can craft steps that match your vision. Wide, extended steps can double as additional lounging areas, and when combined with LED lighting, they create a stunning focal point for your pool. Plus, they provide an easy and safe entry for swimmers of all ages.

Slides: Take the Plunge into Fun!

Why settle for an ordinary swim when you can add a thrill factor with a custom slide? Pool slides aren’t just for kids—they bring out the fun-loving side of everyone! Whether you opt for a sleek, modern slide or a natural rock-style design that blends seamlessly into your poolscape, National Pools of Roanoke can help create the perfect adrenaline-pumping addition. For the ultimate resort feel, pair your slide with a waterfall for an adventurous, theme-park-style experience right at home. Your guests will thank you!

Water Features: Make a Splash with Style

There’s something mesmerizing about the sight and sound of cascading water. Waterfalls, sheer descents, and scuppers don’t just add beauty to your pool—they create an atmosphere of luxury and tranquility. Want to add a playful twist? Consider deck jets or bubblers that send arcs of water dancing into the pool. Fountains are another stunning addition, creating a visually striking centerpiece while enhancing the calming sounds of flowing water. These features aren’t just fun during the day; when combined with LED lighting, they turn your pool into a dazzling nighttime spectacle. Whether you want a peaceful, Zen-like retreat or a dynamic, interactive water display, we’ve got the perfect options to bring your vision to life.

LED Lighting: Transform Your Pool with a Pop of Color

Speaking of lighting, LED pool lights are a total game-changer when it comes to ambiance. Hosting a backyard bash? Set your pool aglow with vibrant, color-changing lights that sync with the party vibe. Looking for a peaceful evening swim? Opt for soft blues and purples to create a tranquil atmosphere. LED lights can also highlight your pool’s best features, from waterfalls to deck jets, and enhance safety for nighttime swims. At National Pools of Roanoke, we specialize in lighting designs that make your pool shine—literally!

Fire Features: Turn Up the Heat on Outdoor Luxury

Imagine this: the sun has set, the water is shimmering, and a warm glow from a fire bowl or fire pit adds an extra layer of elegance to your backyard escape. Fire and water are a stunning combination, bringing drama, warmth, and sophistication to any pool setting. Whether you choose sleek fire bowls placed along the pool’s edge or a cozy fire pit for roasting marshmallows and telling stories, these features extend your pool season and make your backyard the ultimate gathering spot. Fire features don’t just add warmth—they add magic.

Custom Pool Shapes and Designs: Create a Pool as Unique as You Are

Whether you dream of a sleek geometric design, a freeform lagoon-style oasis, or a classic rectangular lap pool, we can bring your vision to life. Unique pool shapes allow you to maximize your space while enhancing your outdoor aesthetic.
