HeatForm - Bespoke pools for schools and swim schools

By the end of their years in primary school, the National Curriculum requires that a child is able to swim 25 metres unaided. The benefits of learning to swim at an early age and developing an understanding of water safety are well documented and the rise of private swim schools across the country reflects this.

We believe HeatForm panel pools offer a cost effective and environmentally friendly solution for school pools and swim schools. The flexible system can be designed to fit any existing space and is quick to install. Whether the project is for a brand new system or an upgrade on an outdated pool, HeatForm is a reliable choice.

Our above-ground pools are quick and easy to install, allowing you to put a pool in a garden, basement or building where an in-ground pool would not always be possible.

A steel support system surrounds the panels creating a strong and sturdy structure, which is bolted to a concrete floor slab. Adjustable elements are built into the design to remove alignment issues and ensure a perfect finish to your pool project.
Each pool can be customised with a pool liner of your choice and you can select from our wide range of Zodiac pool products (pumps, robotic pool cleaners, heating and water treatment solutions) to complete the ultimate pool package.

It is possible to externally clad the pool to ensure it reflects your own personal taste and fits with the surrounding environment. Counter current exercise jets can also add an extra fitness element to your pool. Our specially developed end panel can be added into the pool build to incorporate either the HF Velocity or Swimeo swim jets.

My customers are becoming increasingly aware of the effects of climate change; to be able to offer them a swimming pool option that contains 100% recycled PET plastic bottles is a key selling point when talking about HeatForm pool systems.
The HeatForm pools go together easily and essentially quickly, meaning we can do more in less time, my guys love it.


James Knight - Aquaria Pools, Essex

“We chose a HeatForm exercise pool for our garden as we needed a way we could swim and exercise at home but have a limited amount of space. The HF SwimJet, with it’s 3 speed options, as it is both” perfect for myself, an active triathlete and my wife who likes the lower, gentler speed. The bespoke panelling really finishes the pool off and makes it a nice feature in our garden.”


Richard Howard, Portsmouth - Heatform exercise pool owner 2019

To be able to go to Lighthouse and get the full HeatForm panel system and all the associated Zodiac equipment makes my life so much easier than using multiple suppliers.
HeatForm is a great product for the experienced DIY market as they can take control of much of the installation themselves if they wish. We are very happy to assist with technical parts and advice. In an increasingly busy industry, this means speedy installation of a pool is more accessible


Shelley Wilcox - Rio Pools, Gloucestershire

“In a market where customer ability and competence is abundant, but lack of specialist knowledge can be an issue and is often a worry, we feel that this is a product with obvious and genuine selling points which we can confidently promote knowing that the installation will be simple for the customer and will require less costly and time consuming support during the installation process”.


Graham Kelsey, Managing Director, Summit Leisure, Wiltshire, UK

My customers and I love the fact the HeatForm panels are manufactured in the UK and allow us to reduce our carbon footprint.

To be able to offer a HeatForm above ground pool option to allow us to provide a solution to a customer that wants an easily installed exercise pool is fantastic, especially when we show them the Velocity counter current to use with the HeatForm panels.


Ben Halton-Farrow, Wensum Pools Norfolk

“We chose a HeatForm above-ground insulated panel system to replace an ageing school pool as it was simple and quick to install and the insulated panels will provide significant energy cost reductions in the future. The school were particularly impressed with the eco-friendly nature of the panels on top of the heating benefits they will achieve. We received great customer service from Lighthouse Pools and would highly recommend the HeatForm pool system”


Steve Whiteley, Aquafun Sheffield

“I couldn’t believe how quickly the pool took to complete and that the family were able to enjoy it much sooner than i’d ever expected. It looks great and the Rollo Solar slatted cover gives it a certain je ne sais quoi!”
