Custom Inground pools in New Braunfels & San ANtonio
ready to build a custom pool in your backyard?
At Varsity Pools & Patios, we know a pool isn’t just water and concrete, it’s the heart of your outdoor living space and the foundation of your backyard oasis.
Varsity Pools & Patios creates custom inground pools that become the centerpiece of your backyard oasis. We start with the way you live, then design and build a pool that blends your vision, needs, and style into a one-of-a-kind retreat.
From compact garden homes in Stone Oak and Alamo Heights to sprawling acreage in New Braunfels and Boerne, every property we touch is unique, and every pool is designed to fit seamlessly with its surroundings. With San Antonio’s warm climate, our customers often tell us they never imagined they’d use their pool so much, but once their backyard feels like a resort, it’s hard to stay away.
At Varsity, quality and value come standard. We build with craftsmanship, durability, and efficiency in mind, so your pool brings lasting enjoyment without unnecessary upkeep. From your first design consult to the finishing touches, we stand behind our work and treat your backyard like our own.
