Can you swim in an infinity pool?
Infinity pools offer unrestricted views of the sea, a skyline or a gorgeous landscape. People from all around the world travel to hotels and resorts just to experience the luxury of swimming in an infinity pool (and to take a few photos for Instagram). The term infinity pool specifically refers to an infinite edge pool, vanishing edge pool, or negative edge pool. These are pools that have no swim current. Instead, they have one or more exposed walls (the weir) that’s a fraction of an inch shorter than the water level, so water flows into a catch basin below.Higher Cost: Infinity edge pools are often more expensive to build due to the engineering involved in creating the vanishing edge and the additional basin that catches the overflow. This makes them a larger investment than traditional pools.The infinity pool should ideally have a depth of 1. A greater depth would not allow the user to enjoy the view.
Is the infinity edge pool worth it?
An infinity edge pool is more than just a place to swim—it’s an investment in luxury and aesthetic appeal. If your property features a beautiful view or if you’d like to create one, an infinity pool could truly elevate your outdoor space. And you can expect your infinity pool to cost around 20 percent more than a standard one. But again, that depends on your custom build. Some infinity edges cost up to 50 percent more to install than the typical process of traditional pool installation.
