An "infinity" swimming pool, also known as an "infinity edge" or "vanishing edge" swimming pool, is a swimming pool design that gives the visual illusion that the pool water flows outward toward an infinite horizon. This creates a very attractive appearance, especially if the swimming pool is in a location with beautiful natural views such as the ocean or mountains.
The concept of an infinity pool usually involves one side of the pool being higher than the other side. This higher side has an overflow that allows water to flow into the lower pool basin or into a special drainage system. When the water reaches the higher edge of the pool, it appears to flow over the edge and into an invisible area, creating an interesting optical effect as if the water is flowing outward indefinitely.
Infinity swimming pool designs are often equipped with water heating systems and LED lights to enhance the experience of swimming at night. In addition, using materials such as glass for the lower pool walls can also increase the visual effect.
Despite their attractive design, building and maintaining an infinity pool often costs more than traditional swimming pools due to complex construction and the use of additional technology. However, for many people, the stunning visual effects and unique swimming experience make it a worthy investment.
