What do I need to consider before looking at designs?

A swimming pool is a large investment. There is a lot to consider as you take the plunge. Just like any major purchase, you'll want to do some research.  Surf the web, ask friends and family what they like and dislike about pools, look at your backyard for suggestions as to what it needs. Titan's pool designers are experts and an important part of their job is helping you plan a pool that is just right for you.

How do I see my family and I using our new pool?

Gather the family together and discuss the ways in which everyone will use the pool today and in the future. Do we plan to do a lot of entertaining? Is exercise important? Some of the answers might surprise you. Write them down, keep them handy and refer back to them periodically. Here are the results of the National Spa and Pool Institute's survey:

How do the members of your family use the pool the most?

How big of a pool do I need?

The National Spa and Pool Institute suggests allowing 40 square feet of surface area for each swimmer and 100 square feet for each diver. However, with the trend towards smaller backyards, we are building smaller more innovative pool designs.

In some ways buying a pool is a lot like buying a home. For example, you probably wouldn't buy a small home if you have a large family. You'd want a home with lots of room. On the other hand if it's your first home, budget might be a big consideration. The same thing applies to choosing a pool. Think about your family's needs and be realistic about your budget. With a little advanced planning and with the help of our expert pool designers, you'll have a pool that will bring years of enjoyment to the whole family.

Are there pools I can look at to get ideas?

You bet! We have beautiful pools to show you that we have built in the Tulsa metro area. A number of our customers routinely open up their backyards for us to show potential customers some of the designs we have built.  We try to capture the pools' beauty with pictures but sometimes it just helps to see the real thing. Ask your Titan representative about scheduling some time to look at our creations.
