Kidney Shaped Pools

A kidney-shaped fiberglass pool can be a great fit for many South Carolina backyards because the curved shape works well in spaces that do not feel perfectly square or rectangular. Whether you’re trying to create a family-friendly swimming area, a relaxed retreat, or a compact backyard escape, the right model depends on more than the pool shell size alone.

You can transform your home into a retreat that showcases great design and welcoming vibes with one of our kidney-shaped swimming pools. Whether you plan to entertain guests at poolside gatherings or want solitude in a peaceful water haven.

Who Kidney Pools Are Best For

A kidney-shaped pool may be a good fit if you want:

  • A softer, more natural-looking pool shape
  • A family-friendly layout with separate shallow and deeper areas
  • A backyard design that feels less formal than a rectangle
  • A model that can work for relaxing, swimming, and entertaining

The curvature of a kidney-shaped pool promotes improved water circulation and helps create a more even distribution of heat and chemicals. This encourages clean water, lower maintenance costs, and an eco-friendlier swimming experience.

Whether you're looking to maximize a smaller backyard in Murrells Inlet or want a sprawling water feature for your Florence home, a fiberglass kidney pool is a versatile choice.

Will A Kidney Shaped Pool Fit in My Yard?

Need to know if a kidney-shaped pool will fit your yard? Allstar Pool Company installs kidney-shaped fiberglass pools from Leisure Pools. The Tuscany™ comes in 23' 3" long x 12' 1" wide; or 28' 6" long x 14' 1" wide.

The pool shell is only part of the overall project footprint. Decking, fencing, equipment placement, access, patio layout, and local requirements all play a role in determining what will fit your yard. Before choosing a model, it’s important to look at the usable backyard space, not just the open space where the pool itself may go.

Our design process starts with evaluating the full layout of your property, including yard dimensions, access points, sun exposure, surrounding features, and how you want to use the space once the pool is installed. As Leisure Pool dealers, we also recommend measuring your yard and considering access points and zoning requirements early in the planning process. We offer free consultations.

Benefits of a Kidney-Shaped Pool

A kidney-shaped pool combines a softer, more natural appearance with practical advantages for everyday use. We know you’re buying not only a pool shape that fits your yard, but also a venue for family time, relaxation, fitness, and entertaining.

  • Some segmented use: The curved shape can help create separate-feeling areas for kids, lounging, cooling off, and casual swimming.
  • Offers a family-friendly layout: Multiple activity zones allow different people to enjoy the pool at the same time.
  • Blends into your yard: The rounded profile works well with landscaping, patios, retaining walls, and relaxed outdoor living spaces.
  • Delivers style and function: A kidney-shaped pool offers visual appeal while still providing a practical layout for regular use.

 

Materials: Why Choose a Fiberglass Kidney Pool?

Allstar Pool Company’s kidney-shaped pools are fiberglass pools, which means you get the classic curved look of a kidney design with the practical benefits of a fiberglass shell. For many homeowners, fiberglass is the better choice because it offers faster installation, long-term durability, and lower pool maintenance than concrete or vinyl-lined alternatives.

Fiberglass pools are quick to install, have non-porous surfaces that help resist algae growth, and hold up well in South Carolina’s climate and shifting soils.

 

Kidney Pool Size FAQs

What is the smallest kidney-shaped pool you install?
The smallest kidney-shaped fiberglass pool we install is the Leisure Pools Tuscany™ 23. It measures approximately 23′ 3″ long by 12′ 1″ wide, with a shallow end depth of 3′ 8″ and a deep end depth of 5′ 0″.

Which kidney-shaped pool is best for a narrow yard?
For a narrower yard, the Tuscany™ 23 is usually the better fit because it has the smaller overall footprint. However, the pool shell is only one part of the layout. Decking, fencing, equipment placement, patio space, access, setbacks, and the shape of your yard all need to be considered before choosing the right model.

What are the standard sizes for a kidney pool?
For homeowners looking specifically at the Leisure Pools Tuscany™ kidney-shaped fiberglass pool, there are two available sizes. The Tuscany™ 23 measures approximately 23′ 3″ by 12′ 1″, while the Tuscany™ 29 measures approximately 28′ 6″ by 14′ 1″. Both models feature a sloping bottom, entry and exit steps, a swimming corridor, and a deep-end swimout bench.

How much does a kidney-shaped fiberglass pool cost in South Carolina?
The cost of a kidney-shaped fiberglass pool depends on the size of the shell, decking, site conditions, access, and upgrades like water features, heating, or automation. Our fiberglass pool projects in and near Conway, South Carolina typically range from $48,000 to $85,000, with many projects landing somewhere in the middle depending on the design and scope. For the most accurate price, contact us for a free site evaluation and pool estimate.

Why choose a kidney-shaped pool over a rectangular pool?
A kidney-shaped pool is a great option if you want a softer, more natural look than a rectangular pool. The inward curve helps create natural swimming zones, which makes the layout especially appealing for families. The shape can promote improved water circulation and a more even distribution of heat and chemicals. That combination gives you a pool that is both visually inviting and highly functional.

How long does it take to install a fiberglass kidney pool?
Because fiberglass pools are manufactured off-site and delivered as a single shell, installation is often much faster than with other pool types. Most fiberglass inground pool installations in the Myrtle Beach area and nearby communities require 2 to 3 weeks, although the total project timeline can vary depending on weather, permits, site conditions, and the overall complexity of the build. Full pool construction can range more broadly depending on the job.
