You know you want a fiberglass pool and you know which model you want, but you’re stuck deciding between Ocean Blue Crystite Classic and Sapphire Blue Crystite Classic.
Here’s how they differ:
💎 Sapphire Blue | Crystite Classic
A brighter, more vivid blue that gives your water a clean, refreshing look. Think clear blue sky on a sunny day. It reflects light well, creating a crisp, inviting color that feels energetic and uplifting.
🌊 Ocean Blue | Crystite Classic
Deeper, richer tones inspired by the ocean. This finish creates a sense of depth and a more relaxed, resort-like feel. The water appears darker and more tranquil, perfect for a calm, elevated backyard escape.
Both are beautiful. It just depends on the mood you want to create… light and bright or deep and serene.
Lighting conditions and time of day may affect how colors appear in person compared to photos.

May is Water Safety Month, an important reminder for families to think proactively about safety in and around the pool.
Drowning is the leading cause of death for children under 5, and most incidents happen during non-swim time.
These are not easy facts to think about. But for families with a pool, they’re important to understand. Our goal here at Latham is to ensure that every family can enjoy their pool, while preventing avoidable tragedies.
After the tragic loss of their daughter, Emeline, Bode Miller and Morgan Miller have become passionate advocates for water safety, encouraging families to take a layered approach to protection. Latham's Coverstar automatic pool safety covers are an innovation I wish I had known about. Simple steps like swim lessons and installing an autocover can make all the difference in keeping kids safe around the water.”
– Bode Miller, six-time Olympic gold medalist and world champion ski racer
For families with pools or considering one, safety isn’t just a feature. It’s peace of mind from the very start.
An automatic safety cover is one part of a layered approach to protection, alongside clear pool rules and close, consistent adult supervision.
Our goal is to ensure that every family can enjoy their pool, while preventing avoidable tragedies.
