A swimming pool is a man-made body of water used for recreation and exercise. Pools are often heated, and most public pools have lifeguards in attendance to execute water rescues and administer first aid. They may also have facilities for swimmers with special needs, such as a disability, epilepsy or limited mobility.
The construction of a new swimming pool can be costly and time consuming. Moreover, after construction, it’s important to consider the ongoing costs of a pool. This includes opening and closing, cleaning, testing connections, adjusting chemicals, adding algaecide, surface repairs and electrical expenses. To lower these costs, cost-saving green alternatives to chlorine sanitizing should be explored, such as saltwater, ionization, oxidation and sonic waves.
When considering a swimming pool, homeowners should carefully weigh the pros and cons of the project, such as how much the pool will be used and whether it will increase property value. It’s also important to understand the safety risks associated with a swimming pool, such as drowning and injuries from diving.
Pools can be built from various materials, including vinyl, fiberglass, concrete or cement block. Concrete pools were common during the 1930s and 1940s, but now most are constructed of fiberglass or vinyl. They can be constructed in-ground or above ground, and they can be indoor or outdoor.
A zero-entry swimming pool, sometimes called a beach entry, has a gradual slope into the water from the deck to assist older people, young children and those with disabilities in entering the water. Some pools have showers for swimmers to use before and after swimming.
