Sometimes referred to as “classic” or “traditional” pool, this refers to a design style that usually includes one or more of the following elements:

• Clean, straight lines (usually a rectangle) and/or geometric shapes
• Brick coping or “paving tiles” around the perimeter
• Brick or tiled decking, or stamped concrete with a brick or paver pattern

The more of the above features you use, the more formal your swimming pool will look. (See also Grecian/Roman Pool.)
