Which shape? Mt.Pond or rectangle?

In the hand drawn pictures, if North is up, which way does the wind normally blow?

It would be north;it blows from the house.

Then I'd swap that skimmer to the other side, south . (In the rectangle picture)

I would recommend two of the 5G LED lights for a pool that size. Our pool is that size and we have two. One would be much too dark for my taste.

I was just wondering that. Especially since we're thinking about a dark liner.

We skipped all the boulders and stone waterfalls, free form attempts to look like a natural water feature. Our view was we were building a swimming pool, with no attempt to disguise it as some kind of natural pond. Besides we felt that the free form designs were a bit overdone and preferred the return to the classic clean geometric designs. It's interesting how design trends all seem to have their day, and now some 40 or 50 year old designs can look more "modern" that ones from 5 or 10 years ago.

Our yard already had a lot of mature landscaping and the landscaping was very natural looking so we went with the pond look. I think it just depends on your taste. You can do laps in pond shaped pool if it has the same length as a rectangle pool. We also have a wall to lower the pool down for our slope. Here are some photos our pool is very close to the size you are looking at. Ours is 37x23.

Just don't read Umm's thread or you will get very scared about the process.

It builds character!

Plus I think I am one of the few here that have been intimately involved with my pool builder for over a year.

Goodness! I skimmed through your build thread and it seems like your pool build has been quite the ride. It looks like it paid off and it is so pretty! And I really love the water color!
