TAKING THE PLUNGE

Palmingo Pools is a new plunge pool company in Nashville that streamlines the installation process, optimizes the price point and timeline, providing consumers greater accessibility to costefficient, design-centric pools. Since their start earlier this year, Palmingo Pools has already contracted on ten pools across Middle Tennessee, four of which are in the permitting phase and six in the design phase.

“When I first moved into my home five years ago, I was told that our sloped yard would make my dreams of a pool impossible, but I chose to see ‘what is possible’ instead of only ‘what isn’t’,” said founder Amanda Stone.

“Once I came across a plunge pool, which can be installed in even the most challenging settings, I knew I had found a solution. Deliverable on a shorter timetable with a more agreeable price tag, a plunge pool is a magnet that draws in family and friends to enjoy time together. I look forward to sharing that experience with Palmingo Pools customers across Greater Nashville and beyond.”

Plunge pools are also more affordable, more compact, and more efficient to operate and maintain. In addition, they can be heated or cooled for year-round use, and families can rest assured that shallow ledges and sturdier, lockable coverings minimize risk to children. Palmingo Pools range from 5’x8.9’ to 10’x20’ in size, with an extra-large option of 12’x40’ and a starting price of $70,000.

Palmingo Pools works hand in hand with partners and suppliers on everything from excavation and concrete work to plumbing and landscape architecture. The complete process of installing a plunge pool—crafted from prefabricated concrete, converted shipping containers, or stainless steel— takes five months, with much of that timeframe allocated for plans, permits, and production. Palmingo can install pools in challenging settings and placed in-ground, semi-elevated, fully elevated, or even built into a deck or rooftop. The ground preparation requires approximately two weeks, while the pool placement takes place in a single day. So, get your umbrella drinks ready and take the plunge!
