No longer just rectangular blue holes surrounded by concrete aprons, today's pools come in myriad shapes and sizes-from square wading pools, long lap pools, round spas, and tear-drop shaped jet pools to elaborate naturalistic pools complete with boulders, vanishing edges, waterfalls, and lush landscaping.
