Hi folks,

Has anyone started to think about private swimming pools?

Any hardened property buyers out there that have any tips on whether to commision a builder/pool expert here in the uk or to buy in spain etc would be a help.

Any websites that help with Pools would be good too.

The builder of the house has agreed to build a very basic pool 10X5 rectangular whilst the house is being built, but wants to charge 21-22000 euros.

A few comment have been placed on the Google Group concerning swimming pools. I have just sent off an e-mail to a company called Piscina who advertise in the Los Alcarezes newspapers asking for details so I will post when I receive info back.

I was told by my agent (Alhambra Villas) that the builder is very expensive and she can recomment someone for half the cost.

He built her pool there.
