LATHAM, N.Y. , Nov. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — At this week’s International Pool, Spa, & Patio Expo (IPSPE) in Dallas, Latham Group, Inc. [NYSE:SWIM], the largest designer, manufacturer, and marketer of in-ground residential swimming pools in North America, Australia, and New Zealand, will unveil a new line of plunge pools designed to bring leisure and luxury to backyards of any size. From the only brand to offer both fiberglass and vinyl liner options, the curated collection includes six designs perfect for homeowners seeking a sleek, elegant pool that fits seamlessly into any outdoor space.
“Latham Plunge Pools add a touch of luxury and sophistication to an adult backyard lifestyle,” said Scott Rajeski, president and CEO of Latham. “Smaller than a full-size pool, these models are just the right size for lounging, relaxing, intimate entertaining, or quick relief from the heat. And because of their smaller size, Latham Plunge Pools are ideal for those seeking easy maintenance. They’re budget friendly and perfect for accommodating any size backyard without having to compromise on features and design.”
Blending form with function, Latham Plunge Pools provide practical and stylish solutions that are ideal for compact yards but also add a luxurious touch to larger spaces as well. These fun-sized pools offer full-sized fun with greater convenience, faster and more affordable installation, energy efficiency, and easy maintenance with less chemical usage.
Collection Highlights:
- Fiberglass and Vinyl Liner Options: Crafted with the highest quality materials, the Latham Plunge Pools collection includes two fiberglass models and a vinyl liner series – all available with customizable features.
- Customizable Features: Latham Plunge Pools can be personalized with options like tanning ledges, full-width benches, integrated swim-up seating, bubblers, cascades, LED lighting, autocovers, and more!
- Efficient Design: With faster installations and lower energy and chemical usage, Latham Plunge Pools offer an affordable, eco-friendly choice for any backyard.
High-class Fiberglass
Two fiberglass models – Milan and Enchantment – provide luxury and longevity. Milan measures 10’ x 16’ and features graduated slip-resistant steps leading to a 4’-deep soaking area. Measuring 9’ x 17’, Enchantment boasts a built-in tanning ledge with graduated side steps and a 4’ 9” depth.
Made with the industry’s strongest material, these models are fade, stain, and scratch resistant and deliver a silky-smooth feel for decades of indulgence. The Crystite Crystal finishes are offered in a range of exclusive colors from vibrant hues to subtle earth tones.
Vibrant, Versatile Vinyl
Blending beauty and practicality, the all-new Calypso vinyl liner plunge pools measure 8’ x 16’ and come in an array of configurations. The ultra-flexible options are ideal for inground or semi-inground setups and can be installed faster than any other pool type.
The Calypso series features four liner configurations, including step-up and step-in designs. One option features a 40”-wide tanning ledge while another includes a side bench that can be positioned on the left or right. Offered in a choice of Stardust Blue or Stardust Grey, the premium vinyl material features antimicrobial and UV inhibitors, plus sturdy Ultra-Seam Technology for enhanced durability. Proprietary thermo-insulated panels keep water warmer at lower energy costs, allowing for year-round enjoyment for less.
“Latham’s expertise in vinyl and fiberglass allows us to offer more options and solutions for the trending plunge pool segment with sizes, features, and formats that meet the needs of different styles, spaces, and budgets,” explained Rajeski. “Our fiberglass pools boost unmatched durability while our vinyl options provide affordability and flexibility for the perfect custom look.”
Made in North America, all Latham Plunge Pools are backed by a lifetime warranty and are autocover-ready for added safety and convenience. For more information, visit plungewithlathampool.com.

Like all Latham fiberglass pools, these new designs are available in a wide variety of exclusive colors and finishes, along with standard gel coats. Models can be customized with LED lighting, water features, tiles, and mosaics, as well as safety features such as textured steps, safety ledges, and autocovers.
“Deciding on the ideal pool shape, size, and color, along with what features to add, is a very personal and highly specific process for each homeowner,” noted Rajeski. “We are proud to offer the industry’s most extensive portfolio of pool designs and accessories so that our dealers and builder partners can confidently offer solutions for every backyard, budget, and lifestyle.”
