The Summit
Full-width splash pad. Compact design.
Full-width splash pad. Compact design.
The Summit™ is a straight-sided rectangular fiberglass pool from Leisure Pools, available in 30-foot and 35-foot lengths. Both variants share a 14-foot width — about a foot narrower than typical larger rectangulars like the Pinnacle (15’5″) or Supreme, which can make the difference at the margin on lots with tighter buildable width.

Is the Summit™ the Right Pool for Your Johnson County Backyard?
Summit is worth considering for Overland Park and Lenexa homeowners who want a long rectangular pool but can’t quite fit a 15’5″-wide Pinnacle or Supreme within their setbacks, side-yard access, or existing hardscape. The 14’0″ width is a meaningful delta: it’s roughly one foot less buildable width required — the kind of dimension that can tip a project from “won’t fit” to “fits with room to spare.” That matters most on lots where the side-yard clearance or the distance between existing structures is the constraint. Both Summit variants share the same 14’0″ width and a generous 6’0″–6’6″ deep end (Summit 30 and Summit 35 respectively), so the sizing decision is mainly about length and how much swim corridor the yard can support.
Summit™ Feature Highlights
Full-Width Splash Pad at the Shallow End
The Summit’s signature feature is the full-width splash pad spanning the entire 14’0″ width at the shallow end. Unlike a partial shelf, the splash pad runs wall to wall — toddlers can sit and play across the full beam of the pool, adults can line up multiple in-water chairs, and the whole family can cluster in the same shallow zone without crowding. For Johnson County families whose primary use case is “kids in shallow, adults nearby,” the full-width design is functionally different from a half-shelf or corner ledge.
Swim-Out Benches
Both variants include molded swim-out benches integrated into the shell. The benches give swimmers a place to rest mid-pool — sit, breathe, hold a drink — without having to exit the water or hold the wall. For longer hangouts where some of the family is swimming and some is socializing, the benches double as in-water seating that doesn’t displace deck space. They’re part of the fiberglass shell, so there’s no separate construction or maintenance.
Entry & Exit Steps
Summit includes integrated entry and exit steps as part of the shell — not a ladder, not a separate insert. Steps matter more than they sound: for older swimmers, kids carrying floats, and anyone getting in and out repeatedly during a summer afternoon, real molded steps reduce the friction of using the pool. The molded design also avoids the maintenance issues that come with bolt-on ladders (corrosion, loose fasteners, wear on coping).
Narrow 14’0″ Width — One Foot Less Buildable Width
This is the framing-level feature. Summit runs 14’0″ wide. Typical larger Leisure Pools rectangulars — Pinnacle, Supreme — run 15’5″ wide. That’s about one foot less buildable width required, and on Johnson County lots where the side-yard clearance, neighbor setback, or distance between an existing patio and a fence line is the binding constraint, that one foot is often what makes the project feasible. It’s not a dramatic shift in geometry; it’s a margin-of-fit advantage that matters on the specific lots where it matters.
Sloping Bottom from Shallow to Deep
Summit uses a graduated sloping bottom rather than a flat-bottom or sharp shallow-to-deep step. The shallow end starts at 4’4″ and the bottom slopes down to 6’0″ (Summit 30) or 6’6″ (Summit 35) at the deep end. For families who want a real shallow-to-deep transition — kids learning to swim into deeper water, adults wanting a defined deep zone for cooldown — the sloped profile is what makes the pool usable across age and ability ranges. The shallow end is chest-deep, the deep end is over-head depth for most adults, and the transition is gradual rather than abrupt.
Also Consider
If Summit’s proportions are close but not quite right, look at The Supreme (rectangular at 3 sizes — 30/35/40 feet — with wider 15’5″ width and longer swim corridor), The Pinnacle (rectangular at 30/35/40 feet with a 15’5″ width), or The Harmony (narrower rectangular at 9’6″ wide, lap-style pool in 4 lengths).
Frequently Asked Questions about the Summit™
What sizes does the Summit come in?
Two sizes: Summit™ 30 (30’0″ × 14’0″, 4’4″ shallow / 6’0″ deep) and Summit™ 35 (35’0″ × 14’0″, 4’4″ shallow / 6’6″ deep). Both share a 14’0″ width and the same shallow-end depth — length and deep-end depth differ.
Why pick the Summit over a wider rectangular like the Pinnacle?
Width. Summit is 14’0″ wide; Pinnacle and Supreme are 15’5″ wide. That’s about one foot less buildable width required. On Johnson County lots where side-yard setbacks or existing structures are the binding constraint — common in Overland Park and Lenexa builds — the narrower Summit can fit where a 15’5″ pool can’t.
Does the Summit have a deep end suitable for diving?
No. Summit’s deep ends are 6’0″ (Summit 30) and 6’6″ (Summit 35) — deep enough for genuine immersion and cooldown, but below the depth that would require diving-pool engineering. For diving, look at the Icon’s 8’0″ deep end.
How does the splash pad differ from a tanning ledge?
Summit’s splash pad spans the full 14’0″ width at the shallow end — a wall-to-wall flat shelf with a few inches of water. A tanning ledge is typically a corner or end-zone shelf, narrower in scope. The full-width design is built for whole-family shallow play; a tanning ledge is built for one or two loungers.
Hometown Pool installs the Summit and the full Leisure Pools lineup across Johnson County, Kansas — Overland Park, Lenexa, Olathe, Leawood, Shawnee, Prairie Village, Mission, and surrounding communities. Narrow-width rectangulars like the Summit benefit from on-site siting conversations: the one-foot width difference versus a Pinnacle is exactly the kind of margin that’s better walked on the lot than measured from a plan view.
