A backyard pool project by Moncton-based Remington LeisureScapes has claimed first place in the fiberglass pool category of Latham Group’s 2026 Photo Contest. The win puts a Canadian design in the spotlight among 12 projects recognized across North America.

The New Brunswick installation earned top honours in a competition that celebrates the design and installation expertise of Latham dealers in Canada and the United States.

Latham Group, a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of in-ground residential swimming pools, selected winners in four categories: fiberglass pools, vinyl liner pools, Coverstar automatic safety covers, and winter safety covers.

“This year’s Latham Photo Contest winners show what’s possible when a homeowner’s vision comes together with thoughtful design, quality products, and the expertise of a trusted dealer,” said Sean Gadd, president and CEO of Latham. “From spaces designed for quiet relaxation to backyards built for entertaining, these projects reflect the many ways a pool can transform how families enjoy their homes.”
