Many homeowners strive to maintain a natural look in their backyard — an effect that can be achieved through lush native plants, neutral color palettes and, you guessed it, nature-inspired pools.
Natural backyard swimming pools are defined by a few key attributes. From a shape standpoint, these pools often boast waves and curves that mimic the natural look of a pond or lake. And in terms of color, they tend to be outfitted with dark-colored liners that create a lagoon-like feel with the added benefit of keeping pools warmer with less heat.
Considering a natural swimming pool for your Northeast Ohio backyard? Here is a batch of examples to help inspire and guide you on how to achieve this look.
A Genesis Model Example
Latham’s Genesis style of fiberglass pool invites you to do it all — swim laps, splash in the water or relax on one of the built-in seats — in a layout with delicate, natural curves. Gray bordering around the pool’s edge mimics the feel of natural rocks surrounding a pond or lake, while the dark blue hue of the pool emulates the feel of natural waters.

A Synergy Model Example
Subtle curves make their mark in Latham’s Synergy fiberglass pool, with edging around the pool further enhancing their visual impact. A darker-colored spillover spa adds to the natural feel of a backyard swimming pool and is complemented by stone-framed water features that mimic the sights and sounds of waterfalls.

A Valencia Model Example
While the indentation in the Latham’s Valencia style of fiberglass pool offers a clear divide between the shallow and deep ends, it also provides a more natural aesthetic. The curve in this kidney-shaped pool can provide a space to add a built-in bench inside the swimming pool and a place to add plant life around its exterior. In the latter case, opt for native plants over exotic varieties as they are more eco-friendly to maintain.
