Explore Custom Inground Pools in Tacoma & Western Washington

As our most significant pool investment, custom builds require a rigorous process. Every project is handled end-to-end by our in-house designers, permitting specialists, and installation crews—never outside contractors. Our third-generation, family-owned company leverages institutional knowledge dating back to 1976 to navigate Western Washington’s unique soil and slope challenges.

A custom pool is a collaborative design solution. With five decades of experience, Aqua Rec’s provides a single accountable team from initial consultation to the final water fill, standing behind our work long after completion.

ABOUT CUSTOM POOLS

Everything You Need to Know About Custom Pools

Custom means designed around your specific property and priorities — not selected from a catalog. Here are some of the design directions we’ve taken for families across Western Washington, and the conversations that shape them.

Buying a pool is a big decision, and the company you choose matters as much as the pool itself. Here’s what sets Aqua Rec’s apart from other pool dealers in Western Washington.

Negative-Edge & View-Framing Designs

Infinity pools designed to merge visually with the horizon, ideal for properties with hillside, forest, or water views.

Beach Entries & Tanning Ledges

Zero-entry designs and shallow tanning ledges that provide safe, gradual water access for all generations.

Built-In Spas & Hydrotherapy Features

In-ground spas integrated visually and mechanically with the main pool for year-round hydrotherapy.

Integrated Lap Lanes

Dedicated fitness stretches built into larger social pools, offering appropriate depth and wall length for lap swimming.

Lighting, Water Features & Automation

Integrated LED lighting, waterfalls, fire features, and phone-controlled automation systems designed from the start.

Decking, Coping & Surround

Coordinated patio, coping, and drainage design to ensure the finished pool feels like a seamless part of the home.
