Swimming Pools Across the Great Southern WA
Award-Winning Pool Builders for the Great Southern
The Great Southern is one of WA's best parts of the world to call home — and a pool suits the lifestyle down here, whether you're on an Albany block, a Katanning property or a farm out past Gnowangerup.
Countrywide Pools is a Northam-based family business with more than 20 years installing fibreglass pools across regional WA and over 400 pools in the ground. The Great Southern is a region we now proudly service, and we've already completed installs right across it. We're bringing two decades of regional pool-building experience to a part of WA we're genuinely glad to be working in.
Choosing the right pool builder is important when installing a swimming pool in regional Western Australia.
Properties across the Great Southern often include larger lifestyle blocks, rural homesteads and established residential homes, each with different site conditions and installation requirements.

❋ Choosing the right pool builder
A backyard pool can quickly become the centrepiece of outdoor living. It’s where families gather on hot summer afternoons, where kids spend hours swimming after school, and where friends and neighbours come together to relax.
Swimming pools can also add lifestyle 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 across the Great Southern, installing a pool is about creating a space where family memories are made and where the outdoor lifestyle can be enjoyed year-round. Read our blog here.

Northam to the Great Southern — Distance Done Properly
It's the fair question every Great Southern customer asks a Northam-based builder: does the distance matter? Handled properly, it doesn't — and handling it properly is exactly what we've spent 20+ years getting right across regional WA.
We own and run our own fleet — a 10-tonne and 5-tonne excavator, rock-breaking attachments, a bobcat and a ditch witch — and our truck is set up to mobilise that gear across the state. We quote the realities of your location upfront: travel, access, ground conditions, the lot. No standard-metro-block assumptions, no surprise "+ + +" charges once we're on site.
We also schedule our jobs strategically by area, which keeps costs sensible and means our customers get a smooth, well-organised install regardless of how far out they are.
"Nat and Nick made sure the distance in kms from Northam to Katanning wasn't felt, and the entire process from quote to sign off was stress free and seamless. Countrywide have made our pool dreams come true. Best in the biz." — Chenoa, Katanning WA
Fibreglass Pools Right Across the Great Southern
We install across the Great Southern, including Albany, Mount Barker, Katanning, Kojonup, Narrogin, Broomehill, Gnowangerup, Woodanilling, Ravensthorpe and the farms and properties in between.
It's a big region, and we cover it properly — not as an occasional trip, but as part of how we work. You'll also find us at the Newdegate Field Days every year, the same way we've long been part of the Dowerin Field Days further north.
Why Great Southern Families Choose Countrywide Pools
We're a proud member of SPASA (Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia) and have picked up more than 60 industry awards in the past three years, including state and national recognition.
We're a family business — you'll deal with real people from the first chat through to handover. We may be newer to the Great Southern, but we're not new to pools, and the customers we've already worked with down here have noticed the difference experience makes.
"We couldn't be happier with our experience with Countrywide Pools. From the initial stages through to completion, everything was handled professionally and smoothly. Nat was a pleasure to deal with, and Nick and his team were efficient and hardworking on site. The whole process felt seamless. Highly recommend." — Lucy, Gnowangerup WA
"Fabulous experience every step of the way. Nat was super helpful in the office and we couldn't be happier with the pool install from Nick and the team — great advice, loads of experience and attention to detail." — Sandy, Woodanilling WA

Honest Advice on Great Southern Ground
Across most of the Great Southern, ground conditions are relatively easy to work with. It gets harder in some pockets — rockier country towards the eastern edge of the region — and every block is different, which is why a proper site assessment matters.
We allow for excavator digs upfront rather than assuming an easy job, and we carry rock-breaking gear so harder ground is handled as part of the dig. We'd rather quote it properly the first time than surprise you later. In 20+ years across regional WA, we've yet to find a block we couldn't get a pool into.
We install premium fibreglass pools built for Australian conditions — durable, low maintenance and quick to install. From family pools to lap pools, plunge pools and spa combinations, there's a design to suit your property and how you want to use it.
Our team will help you choose the right pool design — browse the full pool range here. And our Pool Planner tool lets you drop a pool onto an aerial image of your own property before you enquire.
