Plunge pool construction is built around one idea: a deep, cooling pool that fits where a full-size pool will not. For many Kensington courtyards, terraces and small backyards, a plunge pool delivers the refreshment of swimming in a footprint of only a few metres, which makes it well suited to tight inner-Randwick blocks. They are usually deeper relative to their length than a family pool, so the water stays cool and is ideal for a quick dip, sitting in on a hot Sydney - Eastern Suburbs day, or cold-water recovery after exercise. Plunge Pool Construction can be done in either concrete or fibreglass: a concrete plunge pool is shaped to the exact dimensions of an unusual space, while a fibreglass plunge shell drops in fast wherever access allows. Because the volume is small, plunge pools are economical to heat and run, and many Kensington owners add swim jets so they can swim against a current for exercise, plus heating to extend the season and built-in seating or a ledge for relaxing. The build follows the same stages as a larger pool, with approval, excavation, the shell, plumbing, fencing and surrounds, but the compact size usually means a shorter program and a smaller spend. The main considerations are access for excavation or craneage on a confined block, and planning the surrounds so a small space still feels open rather than crowded. The pool also needs the same AS 1926.1 barrier and NSW Swimming Pools Register listing as any other. Where a yard is simply too small for a conventional pool, a plunge pool across Randwick is often the design that finally makes the space usable.
