Penny and Mike made the whole process of choosing, installing and maintaining our new swimming pool a pleasure. The quality not only of the product but also their work is amazing and we can't recommend them highly enough.

We decided to use Compass based on the experience of friends who recommended them.

The initial meetings were straightforward and Nick was helpful in terms of explaining the various options and how the installation process would work.

When the time came for excavation and installation of the pool, Penny and Mike made a preliminary visit and explained the timeline and what we could expect.

They were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and very efficient! They make a great team and we couldn’t believe the range of skills they possess between them. Nothing was too much trouble and obstacles were only ever met with solutions. They worked very long hours in some tricky conditions but always had a smile on their faces!

We couldn’t be more thrilled with the finish and feel very lucky to have had such professionals working on the project.

We love our pool. The process was efficient and smooth. The installation was amazing - really fast and Penny and Mike were exceptional. They really listened and were reassuring and helpful at all stages of the installation. It was a pleasure to have them working in the garden as they are clearly a great team. Thank you!!

When we decided to install a pool, Penny helped us through the specification and costing process with sensible advice and a detailed project plan. The installation ran to time, despite particularly awful winter weather. Penny and Mike did a great job - they are hardworking, thoughtful and were a pleasure to deal with. We are very happy with our new pool and look forward to making the most of it this summer!

i procured a pool from compass on a new construction house we built. the house was considerably delayed, but compass were extremely good and accommodating the moving timelines. now the pool is in we are totally delighted with it, stunning aesthetic but also the kit is state of the art and all online via an app they really take the hassle out of up keeping a pool which i was dreading. re the resign of the pool, you are really left with the feeling they really know about pools and whats important. we were going to build one bespoke but we would never have thought of the little design touches that make is so user friendly. i rarely write reviews, but these guys really deserve it, rarely these days do you come across top notch suppliers that are also not too expensive. top service too, shout out to sheila, thank you..

Penny and Mike of Compass in Kent did a fantastic job - professional, experienced, confidence building (for first time pool owners!) and always on time/always doing exactly what they said they would from first meeting and good advice through to final installation, handover and explanations of maintaining the pool. dealt expertly with difficult access, a narrow lane, a big crane lift (with high winds) along the way. Thoroughly recommend them. Great product, great finish.

Fitness Swimming Pool Cost Calculator

Not sure how much installing a swim spa or fiberglass swimming pool will cost for your outdoor space? Use our handy online cost calculator tool below to explore different size and feature options. Tailor the design to your specific needs and desired pool specifications, and get an estimated cost range for the project based on your selections. This allows you to plan and budget accordingly before moving forward with purchasing and installing a new swim spa or swimming pool.

Swim Spa vs Fitness Fibreglass Pool

A swim spa is a compact, self-contained unit designed primarily for exercise and hydrotherapy, featuring a powerful water current that allows you to swim in place. In contrast, a fiberglass pool is a larger, traditional inground pool installed for recreational swimming and relaxation. Swim spas are much smaller than fiberglass pools and are optimised for a swim current rather than open swimming areas. Fiberglass pools offer more customisation options, greater durability, and lower long-term operating costs compared to swim spas, though swim spas have a smaller initial expense and footprint.

Durability & Longevity

Fiberglass pools boast unparalleled durability, making them a long-term investment. The smooth, non-porous surface of fiberglass resists algae growth and minimises the need for harsh chemical treatments, resulting in a pool that maintains its pristine condition with minimal effort. Swim spas, while durable, may not match the longevity of fiberglass pools. Fiberglass pools, on the other hand, are resistant to cracks and leaks, ensuring a reliable and low-maintenance outdoor swimming pool for years to come.

Running Costs of an Outdoor Pool

While the initial cost of a swim spa may seem appealing, it’s essential to consider the long-term expenses and total installation costs associated with both swim spas and fiberglass pools. Swim spas require electricity to operate the water current and maintain the desired temperature, resulting in ongoing energy costs. They often have a simple but inefficient electric heating element. The size of the swim spa and its usage patterns will directly impact the monthly energy bills.

Fiberglass pools, once installed, offer more energy-efficient operation. The smooth surface of the fiberglass shell contributes to reduced friction, requiring less energy to circulate and filter the water. Additionally, the insulation properties of fiberglass help retain heat, minimising the energy needed to keep the outdoor swimming pool at a comfortable temperature. Over time, the lower running costs of fiberglass pools make them a cost-effective choice for swimming pool installation in the UK.

Pool Customisation Options

Fiberglass pools provide a wide range of options and customisation opportunities to suit various preferences and space constraints for outdoor swimming pool installations. At Compass Pools we offer an array of sizes, and designs, allowing homeowners to choose a pool that seamlessly integrates with their outdoor aesthetics and hard landscaping. Compass Pools’ fiberglass pool models come equipped with built-in features such as steps, benches, and even water features, enhancing the overall swimming experience.

Swim spas, while offering customisation options, may not provide the same level of variety as fiberglass pools. The compact design of swim spas limits the range of features that can be integrated, and the primary focus is often on the swim current and hydrotherapy jets.
