You know that feeling when you have so much to do that you end up just binge-watching Netflix instead of doing anything at all? Pool research can feel that way. What should I search first? What should I search for?

If it’s your first time looking into all this stuff, it can be overwhelming. There’s a lot of information, and somehow you’re supposed to figure out how to navigate it all. How are you supposed to know what you don’t know?

Well, fear not. I’m going to give you a super quick rundown of the most common questions—and links to learn the answers. Boom. It doesn’t get much easier than that.

We’ll call it Pool 101: a single resource to help you find the perfect inground pool for your backyard.

At River Pools we offer fiberglass pools in Virginia and Maryland (and in other areas of the country through our dealers). However, we know that fiberglass pools aren’t for everyone, and that’s okay!

We provide info on all three types of inground pools—concrete, vinyl liner, and fiberglass—because we want you to know you made the right choice as you enjoy your backyard oasis for years to come.

River Pools® manufactures fiberglass pool shells and does not install pools. Pools are installed by locally owned and operated dealers and franchisees. The relationship between the dealers and franchisees to River Pools® is that of an independent contractor. River Pools Franchising LLC (Franchising) provides independently owned and operated River Pool franchisees with the right to market the River Pools brand of pool shells as a franchisee. Franchising does not manufacture pool shells. Due to the unprecedented and historic growth of the River Pools brand, this website contains an abundance of information that has been created over the last decade.
