There are many reasons to own a pool, but here are five to think about.

1. An Unplanned Vacation:

The term “staycation” was coined recently, but the concept has always been one of the many inherent benefits of pool ownership. You do not even have to load up the car for a trip down the highway. When you need it, your pool is right there for you. You can be stressed at work at 6 a.m. and dipping your toes in your pool by 6:30 p.m.

2. Pools = Good Times:

Different people have different ideas about what it means to have good times. Perhaps it’s closing your eyes and listening to the breeze. Or maybe it means jumping, running, and laughing with your loved ones and friends. A backyard pool can accommodate both extremes and everything in between. The experience is defined by you.

3. Children Children Children:

Safety, health, and fun are all reasons to start your kid swimming sooner rather than later. It’s a natural outlet for their energy, and they learn the importance of developing physical strength and stamina at a young age. Finally, it will prepare them for unexpected encounters with pools, the ocean, or even the river. Being present as they learn to swim means you don’t have to worry as much when they’re out of sight.

4. Grandmother and Grandfather:

Swimming is not only for kids. Workout is essential not only for growing children but also for the senior people in your life. It also provides you with another reason to invite them over to your home regularly, to create reminiscences and share stories from the past. A pool is a reason to bring your parents and grandparents closer together.

5. It’s Long-Term Enjoyment:

Trips to Disney, parties, vacations and even movies are all over almost immediately they begin. We do them as they are the exception rather than the norm for us. With a pool, however, that poolside retreat becomes a part of your daily routine. Every day, give yourself a reason to smile.

These are just the first five reasons that come to mind for owning a pool. But we’d like to hear what you’ve got to say. What do you enjoy most about your pool if you have one?
