With over 300 days of sunshine each year, Colorado residents make the most of their outdoor spaces—even in winter. Whether it’s cozying up by a fire pit on a crisp fall evening or enjoying a summer barbecue with breathtaking mountain views, Coloradans embrace all four seasons. A plunge pool is the ideal backyard addition, providing a refreshing retreat in the summer and a soothing, heated escape in the winter. Unlike traditional pools that require winterization and sit unused for months, plunge pools can be used for year-round enjoyment, making them a perfect fit for Colorado’s outdoor-loving lifestyle.

Fisk Lawnscapes is excited to offer plunge pool installations in partnership with Soake Pools, providing Colorado homeowners with a stylish, efficient, and eco-conscious way to enjoy the benefits of a pool without the hassle of maintaining a large one.

Why Are Plunge Pools Gaining Popularity in Colorado?

*Plunge pools are sized and equipped to stay open all year round, in any climate.*

Colorado ranks 30th in the U.S. for the number of residential swimming pools, placing it at the 60th percentile compared to other states. With only 51,000 residential pools statewide, swimming pools are relatively rare due to factors like unpredictable weather, high installation costs, and limited backyard space.

However, plunge pools are changing the game for Colorado homeowners offering a year-round, energy-efficient, and space-saving alternative that complements the state’s outdoor-loving lifestyle and commitment to sustainability.

What Is a Plunge Pool?

*Plunge pools combine the best of pools and hot tubs, offering a sleek, modern design that seamlessly blends into your landscape.*

A plunge pool is a small, deep pool designed for cooling off, hydrotherapy, and relaxation rather than swimming laps. They typically range from 6 to 13 feet long and 4 to 7 feet deep, making them a great fit for backyards with limited space. Plunge pools can be heated for year-round use, equipped with jets for a spa-like experience, or left unheated as a refreshing summer retreat.

The Top Benefits of Plunge Pools

1. Year-Round Enjoyment

Unlike standard pools that require winterization and sit unused during Colorado’s colder months, Soake Pools are designed for year-round enjoyment. Because they double as a hot tub, there’s no need to shut them down for the season—simply keep them heated and enjoy warm water relaxation all winter long. Many homeowners use their Soake Pool as a refreshing plunge pool by day and a cozy hot tub by night, thanks to its quick heating time of just three hours from 70°F to 104°F. Whether you're unwinding after a ski trip or cooling off in the summer sun, a heated plunge pool adapts to your lifestyle in every season.

2. Perfect for Small Spaces

Not everyone has room for a full-size swimming pool, especially in Colorado, where backyard space is often dedicated to patios, gardens, and outdoor entertaining areas. Plunge pools maximize relaxation while taking up minimal square footage, making them ideal for urban and suburban properties.

3. Cost-Effective, Energy Efficient, & More Affordable to Maintain

Soake Pools offer a low-maintenance, energy-efficient alternative to traditional pools. Built from 5,000 psi concrete (stronger than a typical home foundation), they retain heat exceptionally well, reducing heating costs—especially in winter. Plus, their saltwater system means fewer chemicals, less maintenance, and a gentler experience for your skin.

Compared to a standard pool, a plunge pool:

Uses 90% less water (3,200 gallons vs. 32,000 gallons)
Requires fewer chemicals
Heats faster in colder months
Lowers energy costs

With Colorado’s fluctuating climate, these benefits make plunge pools an eco-friendly, budget-conscious choice—so you can spend more time enjoying your backyard and less time on upkeep.

4. Health Benefits & Hydrotherapy

Plunge pools offer:

Cold-water immersion, known to reduce muscle inflammation and boost circulation
Hydrotherapy options, great for relaxation and recovery
A spa-like experience at home

5. Boosts Property Value

A well-designed plunge pool adds a luxurious touch to any backyard. Whether it’s a sleek modern design or a natural stone aesthetic, these pools enhance curb appeal and can increase home value.

According to real estate experts, homes with high-quality pools can increase in value by 5-8%—with plunge pools offering a more affordable way to get that value boost without the massive investment of a full-sized pool.
