As 2024 draws to an end, it's time to take a look back at the major trends that have marked the fiberglass pool industry, notably under the impetus of the Azoria brand. This year was marked by a major event: the merger of the two brands Aquarino and Dolphin, which gave birth to a single entity, Azoria. This merger has created pools of unrivalled quality, offering performance, aesthetics and an unforgettable bathing experience. Through their Aquarino and Dolphin collections, Azoria has redefined the standards of the fiberglass pool market.
Here's an overview of the year's main trends, with a focus on the iconic models and inspiring projects that have captured the attention of professionals and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
1. The colors of 2024: Aqua and Arctic Grey
The most popular colors of 2024 marked a notable evolution in fiberglass pool design. For Aquarino'smodern models, Arctic Grey was the dominant color this year.
Arctic Grey: A softer, more elegant and contemporary color, Arctic Grey has established itself this year as the perfect shade for those seeking a pool that's both modern and timeless. This subtle, cool tone blends perfectly with modern environments, while offering a relaxing, chic ambience.
On the other hand, Dolphin's large-format sloped-bottom pools were dominated by Aqua, a bright, refreshing hue that evokes the crystal-clear waters of tropical lagoons.
Aqua color: Light, refreshing and in perfect harmony with the surrounding nature, the color Aqua was a top choice for 2024. It evokes the crystalline waters of tropical lagoons, bringing a touch of serenity and freshness to any garden. Aqua's intense blue creates a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere, sublimating the generous dimension of Dolphin'slarge-format pools, particularly those with sloping bottoms.

5. Multi-purpose pools: Back to basics with multifunctional spaces
In 2024, a key trend that has emerged is the adaptability of pools to different types of needs, especially for families and people looking for a multifunctional pool. Azoria has responded to this demand with models that are not just designed for swimming, but incorporate multi-purpose zones to create multifunctional spaces.
Modern Aquarino models, often characterized by their clean lines and contemporary design, now integrate elements such as spas or beach areas offer a more complete bathing experience. The integrated spa provides a relaxation zone with massage jets, ideal for unwinding after an active day, while the submerged beach area creates a gentle transition between the pool and its surroundings, offering a shallow area for relaxing or playing, while adding a much-appreciated aesthetic touch.
Pools with sloping bottoms or variable depth models, such as those in the Dolphin collection, have become must-haves. These pools offer a seamless transition from one area for swimming to another for relaxing, playing or even practicing activities such as aquagym. This versatility enables pool owners to maximize the use of their pool, whatever the time of day or type of activity.
In 2024, the multi-purpose pool trend has intensified, and Azoria has integrated it perfectly with its Tanza relaxation module. This module creates a shallow relaxation zone around the pool, ideal for relaxing, playing or enjoying the sun. With a depth of 10 inches, it offers a versatile and comfortable space, perfect for families or for socializing with friends. This modular design allows you to add customized extensions, adapting the pool to your needs, whether for a relaxation zone or a water play area.
