20th Pool & Spa Awards: A Sector in Mutation

Every year, the “Trophées de la Piscine et du Spa” (Pool and Spa Awards), organized by the FPP, highlight the excellence and inventiveness of professionals in the sector. For this 20th edition, the winners do not merely reward aesthetics; they illustrate the profound shifts in a market that now reconciles accessibility with high technicality.

Through these achievements, an entire sector demonstrates its ability to meet the new demands of the French public, both in terms of design and environmental impact.

Awards that Accompany the Democratization of the Sector

The 2025 winners’ list bears witness to a strong reality: the swimming pool is adapting to all types of owners. While 44% of pool owners today are employees or manual workers, categories rewarding “small budget” projects or pools under 10 m² take on their full meaning.

These winners prove that a reduced surface area or a controlled budget in no way excludes innovation. On the contrary, these constraints push builders to redouble their ingenuity to integrate the pleasure of water into increasingly urbanized spaces.

The Complete List of Winners by Category

  • Pool installed with a small budget (under €20,000): Gold is won by Piscines Waterair and Silver by SARL JHD Piscines.
  • Pool under 10 m²: Espace Piscine 66 (L’Esprit Piscine) takes Gold, followed by Capeletto (Everblue) for Silver.
  • Pool Renovation: A double Gold trophy ex aequo for Les Piscines Deletang and Diffazur Piscines.
  • Lap Pool: L’Esprit Piscine wins Gold, Diffazur Silver, and Carré Bleu Bronze.
  • Indoor Pool: Eden & Siloé (Carré Bleu) obtains Gold for its bold design.
  • Angular Family Pool: Piscinelle wins Gold (Cr8 model) while Piscines 35 (L’Esprit Piscine) takes Silver.
  • Night Pool: A brilliant victory for Piscinelle, which sweeps both Gold and Silver.
  • Exceptional Pool: The company Diffazur Piscines distinguished itself with Gold.
  • Equipment Innovation: Awards presented to Klereo and Maytronics.
  • Pool Enclosure or Cover: The company Azenco was praised for its aesthetic solutions.

Innovation at the Heart of Environmental Performance

One of the major trends of this edition lies in the technical nature of the equipment. Driven by the European environmental standard supported by the FPP (NF EN 17645), the market is moving towards increasingly efficient pools. The trophies highlight solutions where technical precision directly serves resource management.

Whether it is intelligent filtration, optimized heat pumps, or innovative covers, the objective is clear: to maintain a high level of comfort and aesthetic grandeur while guaranteeing responsible use. Renovation (or “pool staging”) also occupies a central place in these awards, proving that existing pools can be modernized to meet new consumption standards.

A Barometer for Your Future Projects

For individuals, this list of winners constitutes a unique catalog of inspiration. It allows for the discovery of companies that are pushing the boundaries of construction and equipment. By observing these achievements, it becomes clear that the 2025 pool project is now conceived as a global ecosystem, where aesthetics dialogue with certified energy performance.

As autumn is the ideal period to stabilize the soil and prepare future construction sites, this year’s winners offer a valuable roadmap for all those wishing to realize their aquatic dream before next summer.
