The number of indoor and outdoor pool installations has increased in recent years due to the pandemic and the public’s growing interest in expanding recreational and fitness options in their homes. Additionally, hotel chains have recognized the value of installing pools and spas to attract customers, and they will continue to install new pools or retrofit existing ones. As a result, there will continue to be good demand for swimming pool designers.
With that said, it’s important to remember that the pool construction and installation process is costly, which limits the number of pools that are installed each year. Only a relatively small number of people design swimming pools, so there is considerable competition for the best jobs. Designers with many years of experience designing various pool and spa types and who are certified by the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance will have the best job prospects.
