An overflow swimming pool is a type of pool where the water flows continuously over the edge into a catch basin. There are several synonyms for this popular pool style including infinity pool, vanishing edge pool, disappearing edge pool or negative edge pool. These pools offer a stunning visual effect, as the water appears to disappear into the surrounding landscape or skyline. The design of these pools requires careful consideration of the surrounding environment, as well as precise engineering to ensure the water level remains constant. Infinity pools are a luxurious addition to any property and are popular among those looking for a high-end, resort-style experience in their own backyard.
