Breaking Records, Not the Planet: Redefining Aquatic Design to Accelerate the Green Transition

At first glance, a swimming pool is a picture of simplicity — a serene expanse of water, a place for relaxation or competition. But beneath the surface lies a world of complexity. Every pool is a feat of engineering, a structure designed to endure the relentless challenges of water, humidity, and time. Myrtha Pools, an Italian company with a global reputation, has spent decades mastering this balance of form and function. Now, they’re taking it a step further, asking a bold question: can pools be built not just to last, but to leave a lighter carbon footprint on the planet? Their answer is reshaping the future of aquatic design.

ICON.
EVOLVED.

Myrtha Pools has always been a stage for greatness. Most of world swimming records have been set in Myrtha pools, creating a shared history of unparalleled performance derived from carefully-honed expertise. From the Olympic Games to world championships, their pools have become synonymous with excellence, offering athletes the perfect environment to push the limits of human achievement.

But Myrtha Pools isn’t just about breaking records — it’s about breaking new ground. That’s why the company has embraced Outokumpu Circle Green® stainless steel right from its launch in 2022. This innovative material, the world’s first towards-zero carbon stainless steel, was even used for the Paris 2024 Olympic pools, a milestone in sustainable aquatic design.

IS IT
FOREVER?

For Myrtha Pools, the idea of “forever” isn’t just a lofty ambition — it’s a promise built into every pool they create. Their pools are engineered to thrive in the harshest conditions: constant exposure to chlorinated water, relentless humidity, and fluctuating temperatures that would wear down lesser materials. Myrtha Pools has mastered the art of defying these odds, relying on stainless steel as the backbone of their designs — a material celebrated for its unmatched strength, and ability to resist corrosion.

What truly sets Myrtha Pools apart, however, is their bold embrace of Circle Green stainless steel. It combines the durability of traditional stainless steel with a groundbreaking environmental edge. By integrating this material into their pools, Myrtha Pools has achieved something extraordinary: structures that are not only built to last but also built responsibly.
