A plunge pool is an excellent way to utilise an otherwise unused area or courtyard, or maximise a compact space. A plunge pool can become an architectural feature for the home, especially when lit at night or through winter. With its smaller design, plunge pools can be heated quickly with multiple spa jets for an enjoyable spa under the stars, or used to rejuvenate your body ‘cold-therapy’ or ‘ice-bath’ style!
Explore the many possibilities to enhance your Melbourne or Victorian property with a custom Laguna plunge pool.
A plunge pool is a compact and smaller design alternative to a full-sized pool. While swimming laps may not suit a plunge pool, they do provide a method to cool off on a hot summer’s day, a place to relax on a warm evening, and the ability to include a pool as part of your lifestyle, all while working within the confines of your property. Plunge pools allow residents to indulge in the luxury of having their own pool, even when space is limited.
As we can build plunge pools to any size or design throughout Melbourne and surrounds, we can create what you want in the space you have. Precast plunge pools require generous site access to enable them to be lifted in, whereas a custom Laguna plunge pool is created in place, allowing us to fit into smaller or more compact places, or sites with limited access. We only use the finest quality suppliers and accredited materials to guarantee that your concrete plunge pool is built to the most excellent standards, giving you peace of mind about the lifespan of your investment.
Construction of your new custom concrete Laguna swimming pool takes approximately 16 weeks from dig to completion. Read more about our build process and construction timeline.
Our customised concrete plunge pools in Melbourne are the perfect solution for anyone seeking a versatile yet luxurious pool.
Ideal for relaxing or for a refreshing splash, their size also makes them ideal for use as a cold plunge pool. However, unlike other cold plunge pool designs, they can also be easily heated or used for a variety of purposes.
Compact in size they also require less maintenance and can be installed in even the most restricting of spaces.
Plunge pools vary in size and shape, however, they are generally between two to seven metres in length and two to four metres wide.
In terms of depth, plunge pools can be anywhere from one to two metres deep or more. Their depths, as well as their size and shape, can be easily adapted to suit individual preferences as required when building with Laguna, as all of our pools are custom designed and built.
While preformed plunge pools will require a certain amount of space, our custom concrete plunge pool designs mean they can be installed in virtually any location, even those with difficult access.
This means you can enjoy a luxurious, custom-built pool in an area as little as three metres by four metres and in a shape that makes the most use of your space.
We advise an approximate timeline of 16 weeks from start to finish when installing a plunge pool in Melbourne.
However, various factors can influence this including site characteristics, pool specifications, council approvals and more. A more accurate estimation may be made at the time of quotation with continued updates also offered throughout the process.
Despite its small size, a plunge pool still requires continued maintenance to be at its best. However, as it is smaller and has less water volume than a larger pool, this can be a quicker and easier task.
Like all pools, regular running of the filtration system and proper balancing of pool chemicals is required to keep it clean and hygienic. Additionally, a Laguna plunge pool is equipped with an in-floor cleaning system. This system emits jets of water from the pool floor to help lift leaves and debris, helping remove it through the filtration system. This can significantly reduce the need for vacuuming and manual maintenance or debris removal.
If opting for one of our plunge pools as an alternative to a cold plunge pool in Melbourne, you may need to adjust your maintenance schedule or practices to meet variations in use.
