Sanctuary
The family classic — modern geometric shape
A modern geometric shape that will fit most backyards, with ample space to take a dip while providing a full-length bench and steps for relaxation and family fun. Nine sizes from 4.8m to 10.6m, in both standard (4.2m) and narrow (3.4m) widths.
Available configurations
What defines it
Full-length bench
A bench runs the full length of one side — perfect as a lounging shelf for adults and a safety seat for kids learning to swim.
Graduated floor
Shallow at the entry, deeper in the centre — no jarring transition, easier to swim.
Nine sizes, two widths
Standard 4.2m models and Narrow 3.4m variants for tighter blocks — a Sanctuary for almost any yard.

Sanctuary — common questions
What makes Sanctuary Compass's most popular family pool?
It's the shape that most Australian backyards ask for — a broad rectangle with a full-width bench seat along one long side, a swim corridor down the middle, and a wet-edge shallow zone at one end. It swims well, entertains well and works with kids of every age.
What sizes does Sanctuary come in?
Nine sizes from 4.8m compact right through to 10.6m — including narrow (N) variants for tight blocks. The 7.0m and 8.2m models are our most-installed. Every size has the same bench-and-swim-corridor layout, just scaled to suit the block.
Can I have Vantage self-cleaning on a Sanctuary?
Yes — Sanctuary is one of the shapes Vantage is designed for. The floor layout works particularly well with the in-floor cleaning heads, and the bench seat gives the water an easy return path.
What's the difference between the standard and narrow (N) Sanctuary?
The N variants (6.0N, 7.0N, 8.2N) drop the pool width from 3.8m to 3.4m — giving you the same length and swim experience on a narrower block. The bench seat and shallow zone are proportionally adjusted. Ideal for sub-division blocks or where you need to keep clearances to fencing.
Is Sanctuary suitable for a sloping block?
Yes — Sanctuary is available in Maxi Rib construction, so it can be installed above-ground, semi-inground or on sloping sites. Several of our recent Sanctuary installs use Maxi Rib to handle the natural slope of the block.
How long does a Sanctuary install take?
The shell placement, plumbing, coping and immediate finishes typically run 1 to 2 weeks on-site. Full turn-key handover including paving, decking and landscaping usually adds a few more weeks depending on scope and weather.
