Bigger is better they say! But is a 20×40 pool too big? That’s a great question and one that we will dive into in this article. It really is subjective but you might be surprised at overall what people think in general about big pools. Let’s answer the question directly though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 20’x40′ pool is 800 sq. ft. and holds approx. 30,000-40,0000 gallons of water depending on your pool depth. A pool of this size easily fits 6-8 people for swimming, games, relaxation, and lounging. These pools are the perfect size for diving pools that reach 8ft deep to accommodate safe head-first diving. This pool isn’t too big if you have an average to large size family and host medium-sized gatherings many times throughout the swim season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m going to detail some more information about 20×40 pools that in my opinion makes them ideal if you can afford them and have the time to maintain them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a big divide among pool owners of various sizes about these bigger pools, but I rarely hear complaints about those who did go big. Let’s dig into some of that though below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
