Swimming Pool Mural
Trompe L'Oeil Painting
by Richard Ancheta

The entrance of the swimming pool is the two shower room to were they can bath, dress and prepare to step down in the swimming pool. The design was suggested to reduplicate as the mirror image of the other mural such as the carabean blue sea, the horizon and the sky. To make it harmony to exterior design, the mural was added with wall as a continuation of the interior decoration. Stone textures and one point perspective is use to emphasized the trompe l'oeil effect of the view. The birds such as parrots and cockatoo becomes the focal point of the view and a lizard crawling on the wall, the floor border becomes a part of the mural as a continuous flower box.

About Swimming Pool:

A swimming pool, swimming bath, wading pool, or simply a pool, is a container filled with water intended for swimming or water-based recreation. There are many standard sizes; the largest and deepest is the Olympic size. A pool can be built either above or in the ground, and from materials such as metal, plastic, fiberglass or concrete.

Pools that may be used by many people or by the general public are called public, while pools used exclusively by a few people or in a home are called private. Many health clubs, fitness centers and private clubs have public pools used mostly for exercise. Many hotels and massage parlors have public pools for relaxation. Hot tubs and spas are pools with hot water, used for relaxation or therapy, and are common in homes, hotels, clubs and massage parlors. Swimming pools are also used for diving and other water sports, as well as for the training of lifeguards and astronauts.

Chemical disinfectants such as chlorine, bromine or mineral sanitizers, and additional filters are often used in swimming pools to prevent growth and spread of bacteria, viruses, algae and insect larvae. Alternatively, pools can be made without chemical disinfectants by using a biofilter with additional carbon filters and UV disinfection. In both cases, pools need to be fitted with an adequate flow rate.
