Why Swimming Pools Are Becoming a Must-Have Feature for Avon Valley Homes
If you’ve spent a summer in the Avon Valley, you’ll know how valuable a backyard pool can be. More and more homeowners across the region are choosing to install swimming pools as part of their outdoor lifestyle, creating a space where family and friends can gather, relax and enjoy the warmer months at home.
Northam-based family business Countrywide Pools has been helping regional WA homeowners bring that vision to life for more than 20 years. Over that time, the team has installed more than 400 swimming pools across the Avon Valley, Wheatbelt and wider Western Australia region, working closely with families who want to create outdoor spaces that suit the way they live.
A Backyard Pool Creates a Lifestyle
A backyard pool often becomes much more than a place to cool off in summer. It becomes the gathering point for family barbecues, after-school swims and long afternoons spent outdoors with friends and neighbours.
For many families, it’s about creating a space where kids can grow up enjoying the outdoors and making memories right at home. Having a pool on your doorstep means the best moments of summer are only a few steps away.
Adding Value to Your Property
A swimming pool can also add significant appeal to a property. According to realestate.com.au, “swimming pool” consistently ranks among the most searched lifestyle features when buyers look for homes online.
For many homeowners, a pool isn’t just a luxury feature — it’s a lifestyle investment that enhances how a home is enjoyed every day while also increasing its appeal to future buyers.
The Memories That Matter Most
Of course, the real value often lies in the memories created.
For Kulin farmer, Steph Bradford, installing a pool with Countrywide Pools quickly became the highlight of family life at home.
“We are so incredibly happy with our pool and still can't believe how easy the process has been! The hardest part of the whole thing was trying to get the kids out of it last night!!”
Feedback like this is what makes the work so rewarding for the team.
Award-Winning Pools Built by a Local Northam Team
Countrywide Pools takes great pride in delivering quality installations and is a proud member of SPASA (Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia), the industry’s leading professional body.
Their commitment to craftsmanship has been recognised through numerous industry awards including Project of the Year, Professional of the Year, Sustainable Project, Operational Excellence and Pool Sales Representative.
In the past three years alone, Countrywide Pools has received more than 60 regional and national industry awards, recognising excellence across every part of the business — from the quality of each installation through to the professionalism of the team.
Local Knowledge Matters When Building in Regional WA
Despite this national recognition, Countrywide Pools remains a proudly local family business at heart.
Being locally owned means the team understands the unique conditions of building swimming pools in regional areas, from site access and soil types to the practical considerations that come with rural properties. That local knowledge helps ensure projects run smoothly from design through to installation.
