"We would highly recommend Fred Rock Pools. We are new to the Coachella Valley and pools in general and we were looking at adding a spa and tanning shelf to our already existing pool. We received four competitive quotes total from various companies. However Fred, Saul, and team really listened to our wants/concerns and Fred created a design unlike the others that took everything into consideration and blew us away. Saul was our main contact and was amazing through the entire process from start to finish. Our project recently finished and we could not be more thrilled with the results. The design of the spa/tanning shelf, actual construction, and execution was impeccable. There were very minor things that needed to be adjusted with the equipment supporting the new system and Fred Rock Pools handled it with ease and communication the entire time. We truly are beyond grateful for the design/work they did and would recommend them to everyone. They know what theyâ re doing!"

From the digging of the dirt and the removal was cleaned as possible. From down to other employees everyone was kind and corteous and respectful to our property."

"Handel was an amazing contractor! His employee's were extremely friendly and went above and beyond to ensure that we were satisfied with the end product. Handel's prices were extremely competitive and came in lower than some of the bigger named companies for a higher quality final product. His timeline was several weeks quicker than other contractors, even during this extremely difficult time. Handel finished the pool on time and we did not sacrifice quality for speed. The landscaping and firepit were the cherry on top! Absolutely amazing!"

"Very personable and easy to work with. Very responsive also."
Most spool or cocktail pools take four to 12 weeks from breaking ground to the first swim, although timing varies depending on size, type, and site conditions. An above-ground, vinyl-lined model can be installed within three or four days once the kit arrives, whereas an in-ground spool adds excavation, plumbing, and inspection steps that extend the timeline. Because delivery alone can take a few weeks, lining up permits and any necessary digging or grading work during that window helps keep the project moving.
Cocktail pools are not intended for traditional swimming; they are built to deliver a cooling and relaxing experience. They provide an ideal setting for a refreshing dip rather than for exercise or lap swimming. The pool’s limited dimensions restrict vigorous activity and ensure safety, making it a perfect retreat for quick cool-downs and leisurely soaks in a compact, stylish design.
Spool pools have a depth of 38 to 42 inches, which is ideal for sitting, standing, and gentle dipping. This deliberate depth prioritizes safety and an inviting atmosphere while eliminating the possibility of diving or extended swimming. The measured design creates a secure and intimate space for relaxation, adding a refined touch to your outdoor area.
If you're handy and have experience with excavation, plumbing, and electrical work, consider installing your spool pool yourself. However, hiring a professional ensures the job is done safely and correctly. Pros have the expertise to handle all the technical details, giving you peace of mind and helping you avoid costly mistakes.
Maintaining a spool pool demands regular cleaning, precise chemical balancing, and thorough system inspections. Homeowners should allocate time monthly for filter cleaning and water quality checks, in addition to performing seasonal maintenance, to ensure optimal system performance. Ongoing maintenance preserves water clarity and operational efficiency, reduces repair costs, and extends the pool’s lifespan, creating a safe and enjoyable environment.
Popular upgrades include a brick-paver patio for slip-resistant footing, low-voltage lighting for evening swims, and code-compliant fencing to boost safety. Additionally, consider adding landscaping or a fire pit to transform the pool area into a year-round hangout. Each feature raises overall costs, but thoughtful add-ons improve usability, curb appeal, and, in many markets, resale value.
