Kingston: 16' x 38'
A big, social rectangle — 17,500 gallons of open water.
Installed by a Latham Grand Dealer
These photos and drawings are Latham’s official Kingston images. It is the same shell we install. The shell is molded at Latham’s Williams, CA plant and installed by our crew to Latham’s spec — that is what keeps the limited lifetime shell warranty valid. See the Kingston on lathampool.com →

Will the Kingston fit your yard?
The Kingston shell measures 16' x 38' at the water’s edge. With the 3’ of concrete decking that is already in the price on every side, the finished pad is about 22' by 44' — tape that out in the yard first. A pool this size also has to clear the setbacks — the distance from property lines, the house and easements that Kings, Tulare and Fresno county cities each set for themselves. We confirm yours before the site plan (permit guide).
In the 2026 California-built lineup the Kingston is one of the big models: 6 of the other 46 models are longer and 44 hold less water. A shell this long still arrives in one piece from Latham’s Williams, CA plant, and the crane pick is the part we plan hardest — street or driveway access for a large crane is the first thing we look at on the site visit.
Depth, seating and who the Kingston suits
It runs from 3'6" at the entry to 5'10" at the far end — chest to shoulder deep for most adults, deep enough to feel like real swimming, shallow enough that nobody is out of their depth.
Built into the Kingston: swim-up seating along the wall so adults can sit in the water and talk, and an auto-cover-ready coping line, so an automatic safety cover fits without a custom track.

Kingston vs. the models next to it
The Kingston is a one-of-a-kind shape in the lineup. The two rectangle models closest to it in price:
| Model | Size | Depth | Volume | Installed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Astoria 12 | 12' x 28' | 3' – 5'7" | 6,000 gal | from $76,995 |
| Olympia 16 | 16' x 35' | 3'6" – 6'6" | 15,250 gal | from $76,995 |
| Kingston | 16' x 38' | 3'6" – 5'10" | 17,500 gal | from $76,995 |
Against the Olympia 16, the Kingston carries 2,250 more gallons for $0 more. All three are turnkey installed prices — nothing hidden behind a quote.
Owning a Kingston in the Central Valley
A Central Valley summer — weeks over 100°F — pulls something like a quarter inch of water off an uncovered pool every day. On the Kingston’s roughly 610 square feet of water surface that is on the order of 90 gallons a day in July — the single best argument for an automatic cover on this model (the shell is already cut for one). A cover also holds heat overnight, which matters more on a 17,500-gallon pool than the brochure suggests.
Volume drives running cost. At 17,500 gallons the Kingston needs more chemistry than a mid-size pool, which our weekly service plans price in, and the first fill takes about 32 hours from a garden hose at 500–600 gallons an hour — we start it the day the shell is set and plumbed. Our own Hanford crew handles the install, the permit and, if you want it, the weekly service afterward.
Kingston questions
How much does the Kingston cost installed in Hanford?
The Kingston starts at $76,995 turnkey: excavation, the shell, equipment, plumbing, standard freight, 3’ of concrete decking, plans, permitting and taxes. Central Valley pricing. Prices are subject to change based on distance from Hanford, CA. California law caps the down payment at the lesser of 10% or $1,000, and we bill only for work that is done.
How big is the Kingston, and how much yard does it need?
The shell is 16' x 38' with about 17,500 gallons of water. With the included 3’ deck the footprint is roughly 22' by 44', plus whatever setback your city or county requires from property lines and the house. We confirm the setback and draw the site plan before anything is signed.
How deep is the Kingston?
The Kingston runs from 3'6" in the shallow end to 5'10" at the deep end. Like every fiberglass pool it is not rated for a diving board.
Can I add a tanning ledge or spa to the Kingston?
Yes. Neither is molded into this shell, so we build a standalone fiberglass ledge or spa alongside the pool and show it as its own line on the estimate. The upgrade list on this page has the starting prices.
How long does it take to fill the Kingston?
About 32 hours for 17,500 gallons from a standard garden hose. We start the fill the day the shell is set and plumbed; most projects go from dig to swim-ready in 2–4 weeks once the permit is in hand.
Backed by Latham. Installed by a Grand Dealer.
Neighborhood Pool Service is a Latham Grand Dealer — the top tier of Latham’s dealer network. Your Kingston ships from Latham’s factory. Our licensed local crew installs it to Latham’s specs (CSLB #1139527, verify). And Latham backs the shell with its limited lifetime structural warranty.
California protects pool buyers — and we follow the law to the letter
Under California law (Business & Professions Code §7159), a licensed contractor may collect a down payment of no more than $1,000 or 10% of the contract price, whichever is less. So no matter the size of your project, we will never ask for more than $1,000 down. And we only bill for work after it is done. If any pool company asks you for a 20–50% deposit up front, that is a red flag. It’s also illegal.
Get your exact Kingston price
You already know the starting price — it’s printed above. Tell us where the pool is going. We’ll come out, walk the yard, and put a real number in writing. It’s free, and usually done within a couple of days. And if you go ahead, California law caps your down payment at the lesser of 10% or $1,000.
