Indoor swimming pool with glass walls
An indoor pool with glass walls and dark surfaces. With a pool inside a house the waterproofing and the ventilation matter as much as the water itself, so they are planned from the start rather than after the space has been built.

The real problem is vapour, not water
An enclosed pool evaporates continuously. That vapour needs somewhere to go; if it has nowhere, it finds its own way into the walls, the ceiling and the windows. So with an indoor pool the ventilation and dehumidification are part of the pool design, not of the house build.
A cover helps a great deal here too: a covered surface evaporates far less during the hours nobody is using the pool.
Glass and the dark surface
Glass walls tie the pool to the garden, but they are also the coldest surface in the room, which is where condensation forms. That is one more reason the ventilation is calculated before the glass goes in.
The dark surface does the same job indoors as out: it deepens the look of the water and brings the underwater lighting out.
What the work involved
Like every concrete pool we build, this one went through the same steps: excavation, formwork, steel mesh, pipework, a single concrete pour, waterproofing, the surface, and then the filtration system.
