How can I finance a swimming pool?
You can finance a new swimming pool through several approaches, including project-specific pool financing coordinated with your builder, equity-based options that use your home's equity, or rolling the pool into a renovation loan. The right choice depends on the project size, your equity, and your timeline. Financing lets you build the pool now and pay over time rather than covering the full cost upfront, and it falls under our broader home improvement and contractor financing program.
Key takeaways
In South Florida, a pool isn't a luxury so much as a way of life, but building one is a real investment. Our team helps homeowners across the communities we serve finance a new swimming pool so you can enjoy it this season instead of saving for years. Pool financing is part of our broader Home Improvement & Contractor Financing program, and we shop a broad network of lenders to find the right structure.
Enjoy the Pool This Season
A backyard pool is one of the best ways to enjoy South Florida living, but the price of a new build stops a lot of homeowners in their tracks. Financing changes that. Instead of waiting years to save the full cost, you can build now and spread the investment over time. Our team keeps it simple. Where other lenders stop, we keep working.

Coordinated With Your Builder
Pool projects run on a build schedule, and our team can align the financing with your pool builder's timeline and scope. Our construction background helps us understand how these projects come together, especially on properties where the pool ties into broader outdoor or waterfront work.
