Why cocktail pools?
A smaller footprint. A beautiful reason to step outside.
Cocktail pools are a refined take on the plunge pool—fully usable, easier to place in smaller backyards, and designed to become the centerpiece of the space rather than overwhelm it.

Frequently asked questions
What does your price include?
The price covers everything you need — design, permitting, construction, equipment, and finishes. No hidden costs, ever.
How long does it take to build?
Most builds run about 6 to 8 weeks, depending on design complexity and weather. We keep you posted at every stage so there are no surprises.
Are your pools pre-fabricated?
No. Every pool is designed and built on-site to fit your yard and your style. A personalized pool simply looks and works better.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. A pool is a big investment, so we work with financing partners to offer flexible plans. Reach out and we'll help you find the right one.
What's your warranty?
We stand behind our work with a comprehensive warranty covering both structure and equipment. Ask us and we'll send the full details.
What areas do you service?
We build cocktail pools across Central Texas, including Temple, Belton, Salado, Waco, Killeen, Georgetown, Round Rock, Austin, and surrounding communities.
What about ASR?
We comprehensively test all of our materials on an ongoing basis to ensure that everything is being done to mitigate the possibility of ASR in our swimming pools.
What is a cocktail pool?
A cocktail pool is a fun take on a traditionally smaller pool, sometimes called a plunge pool or tiny pool. It is made to be usable while also serving as an attractive centerpiece for your backyard.
Will a cocktail pool fit in my backyard?
Without seeing a survey it is impossible to say for certain, but we developed this product line and its sizes specifically for the smaller backyards often found in metropolitan areas or near golf courses.
Stories from the water
What homeowners say
Thoughtful planning, clear communication, and pools made for the way each family wants to live.
Brook Bailey4 months ago
Bryson was great to work with. Kept his word on construction and gave realistic time and expectations even when inclement weather came through. We are first time pool owners and Bryson was the best price, customer service, and realistic expectations with no hidden cost or fees. Some pool companies do not include electric installations and other utilities. Bryson factors all everything. Thank you Bryson and your team for our pool!

We have had several pools done by Bryson and Watercolor pools, each one done on time and in budget! From design to job site clean up, they were on point. Great company to work with!

We are currently in the process of getting our pool project started with Bryson and WaterColor Pools. Initially I did not think a pool was in our budget but Bryson worked with us to find something within our budget that hit all of our needs. The process has been incredibly smooth so far and we can't wait to see how it turns out!!

We had Water Color build our pool. Start to finish in under 50 days. From the first visit for a quote. They gave us their undivided attention to layout and detail. They explained everything that went into the construction. Thickness of concrete, plumbing and electrical. We are so happy with the results. We highly recommend Watercolor Pools.
