According to the National Association of Home Builders*, the share of smaller home lots has reached an all-time high. In response to this trend, Latham Group, Inc. [NASDAQ:SWIM], the largest designer, manufacturer and marketer of in-ground residential swimming pools in North America, Australia and New Zealand, is expanding its popular Astoria fiberglass pool series with the new Astoria 12 — a 12’ x 28’ pool/spa combination that delivers a variety of features in a compact footprint.
“The Astoria 12 brings the full experience of our most popular fiberglass pool model to homeowners with limited outdoor space,” said Scott Rajeski, president and CEO of Latham. “With an integrated spa, tanning ledge and swim-up seating, it’s proof that you don’t need a big backyard to enjoy a feature-rich, luxurious pool.”
Inspired by Latham’s top-selling pool design, the Astoria 12
integrates several key elements, including:
- Built-in Spa: 6’6” x 5’11” interior for year-round relaxation
- Tanning Ledge: 3’11” x 7” with 12” water depth for lounging and sunbathing
- Swim-Up Benches: Two deep-end benches and one shallow-end bench, all with 20” water depth
- Champagne Wall: A stylish built-in ledge perfect for holding drinks while relaxing
- Gradual Slope: Depth transitions from 3’6” to 5’7”, offering both play and plunge zones
- Safety Ledge: Built-in from shallow to deep end for peace of mind
The Astoria 12 joins the existing Astoria family, which includes 14’ and 16’ models, to create a comprehensive collection of sizes to accommodate virtually any backyard layout. Available in a range of colors and finishes, all models come auto cover ready and are backed by Latham’s lifetime warranty.
“As lot sizes continue to shrink, today’s homeowners are seeking smarter, space-efficient solutions that don’t compromise on comfort or style,” added Rajeski. “The Astoria 12 delivers all the comfort and luxury of its larger counterparts in a size that works for more yards and lifestyles.”
