In The Swim Deluxe Mesh Safety Cover
Best-shade mesh — The mesh cover that opens almost as clean as a solid one, without the pump. In The Swim's Deluxe mesh (made by Covertech) uses a 98% sun-blocking weave — near-solid shade that starves algae all winter — yet it's still mesh, so rain and snowmelt drain straight through and you never own a cover pump. It carries a 20-year warranty, the longest of any mesh cover here, and it's a genuine ASTM F1346 safety cover. Stock rectangle sizes plus custom; price shown is a stock 16x32.

Pros
- 98% sun-blocking weave — near-solid shade for an algae-free opening, no cover pump
- Longest warranty of any mesh cover here at 20 years (Covertech-made)
- A genuine ASTM F1346 safety cover that drains through — no standing water to manage
Cons
- Not for you if you want the cheapest safety cover — this is premium mesh (~$1,260), well above the buy-online WaterWarden
- For literally zero light a 100% solid cover (GLI HyPerLite) still edges it — at the cost of a cover pump
- Ordered through a pool specialist, not a one-click Amazon buy

Record
- — Given its own page, with the reason there is no owner rating on it: In The Swim sells direct through its own store, with no marketplace listing, so there is no owner-review base to read and there will not be one. Every safety cover in this class is sold the same way, which is why none of them carries a star average here.
