October 2025 Pool of the Month: Creating Memories and Wellness in College Grove

The backyard began as an empty slate with parameter landscaping and a basic outdoor concrete patio. Aviva Pools Nashville South transformed it into a fully realized sanctuary featuring natural Italian marble coping that surrounds the pool, tanning ledge and spa. Raised Italian marble planters add sophisticated touches throughout, and incorporated additional seating for entertainment, proving that luxury doesn’t have to break the bank when you work with a team that sources materials strategically.

The installation seamlessly integrates with the family’s lifestyle. Aviva Pools Nashville South handled the aquatic elements and hardscaping, while the homeowners separately contracted the addition of a 130-inch screen with rear projector and surround sound, transforming the backyard into an outdoor theater for movie nights and game day gatherings.

Custom details elevate the entire space. The team reengineered the spillover water features from both the tanning ledge and the spa, cutting the fiberglass and retrofitting them with Italian marble for a cohesive, high-end aesthetic. Five strategically placed LED lights illuminate the pool, with two additional lights enhancing the tanning ledge and one for the spa for magical evening ambiance.

The most remarkable aspect? The profound impact on the family’s health. The husband, who committed to swimming laps regularly, has lost weight and lowered his A1C numbers through consistent swimming, even continuing through colder temperatures.

His strategy for year-round swimming: start heating the pool early in the season while outdoor temperatures are still warm, maintaining water temperature close to ambient air. As fall and winter arrive, the heating system only compensates for small temperature variances rather than dramatic swings, making it both comfortable and cost-effective.

The homeowner routinely swims his laps and relaxes in the spa with his wife or family, discovering the profound benefits of hydrotherapy. The pool has become more than recreation; it’s a wellness haven that’s literally changed his life.

The family’s twins celebrated their 18th birthdays with two separate pool parties that perfectly demonstrated the versatility of this backyard retreat. One hosted a sophisticated s’mores lounge party around the outdoor fire pit, while the other watched NFL games from the hot tub with friends. The homeowners confirmed the mission was accomplished: they’ve achieved that vacation-every-day-at-home feeling they sought from the beginning.

What distinguishes Aviva Pools Nashville South from traditional pool installers? They focus on experiences rather than just specifications and features. Their mission is creating equilibrium in clients’ lives through immersive outdoor experiences, with spaces measured not in square footage, but in improved health, laughter echoing across the water and families spending meaningful time together.

While others install pools, Aviva Pools Nashville South creates wellness havens and memory-making spaces. This College Grove installation showcases what’s possible when you partner with a team that sees beyond the pool itself: from unexpected health transformations to milestone celebrations to peaceful evening rituals that make staying home the destination.
