When temperatures soar, what could be more refreshing than dipping into a pool of cool water, in the privacy of your backyard? True, not everyone has the space or the budget for a full-sized swimming pool, but a plunge pool can offer a chic alternative that's equally as inviting.
You won't be able to swim laps in this type of pool, but for beating the heat, they're a winner. And plunge pools aren't for warm-weather use only – many can be transformed into hot tubs if hooked up to a heater.
