As a global network of over 100 elite pool builders, the Master Pools Guild is at the forefront of these advancements, bringing together unmatched expertise and cutting-edge pool technologies. This article dives into six exciting pool trends for 2024, showcasing our members’ commitment to excellence in pool design and construction.
Acrylic Pool Edge/Wall Designs
Acrylic pool walls and edges are revolutionizing pool design. These transparent structures offer a sleek, modern look, making them perfect for vanishing edges and ‘bridge’ pools. They allow for innovative shapes and designs that were previously difficult to achieve with traditional materials.

Acrylic panels, in particular, provide uninterrupted views, adding a touch of elegance to any poolscape. For a deeper dive into these innovative designs, check out Natare’s acrylic pools here.
Single-Depth Pools
Single-depth pools have become more popular than ever. With a uniform depth, these pools are ideal for social gatherings, allowing guests to enjoy the water comfortably and safely. They are also perfect for swimming and exercising, although not suitable for diving.

Colored Pool Tile Designs
Bold and vibrant pool tile designs are making waves. Homeowners are opting for tiles with dynamic colors and patterns that transform the bottom of their pool into a visual display.
The adoption of colored pool tiles reflects a broader trend in pool design — the desire for personalization and uniqueness. Each pool becomes a reflection of the owner’s tastes and style, making it a central feature of their property.

Pool Cooling
Pool cooling systems are emerging as a popular solution for maintaining comfortable water temperatures, especially in warmer climates. This technology allows pool owners to enjoy their pools all year -round, keeping the water cool and refreshing even during the hottest days.

Cocktail Pools with Swim Jets
Cocktail pools, enhanced with swim jets, are ideal for compact spaces. These pools offer the luxury of swimming in place, ideal for relaxing or enjoying an in-water exercise. A brilliant example is the Burleson Master Pools project, which elegantly incorporates this trend.
