What are some example designs for home swimming pools?

Some example designs for home swimming pools include a meandering, free-form pool edged with concrete pavers. This pool is large enough to hold an island that features a hot tub, seating area and built-in planters.

A long wooden deck has a lap pool at its edge. This pool, much longer than it is wide, does not take up a great deal of space and can be hidden from neighbors by a hedge. A cabana that projects into a large, lighted pool actually feeds it with a waterfall from the cabana's roof. The pool has a wooden deck and a whirlpool, and the cabana is roomy enough for seating and entertainment.
