A swimming pool is a great luxury to have for families, but it’s only worth the investment if you live in an area that can enjoy it for most of the year. It’s also a good idea to consider how a pool might affect your home’s value when it comes time to sell.
A pool can be a relaxation zone, family fun area, or even a training facility for serious swimmers. There are many shapes, sizes and materials that you can choose for your pool, and the type of pool you have will impact its cost and construction process.
Swimming pools are also used for competitions such as water polo, canoe polo and synchronized swimming, as well as leisure activities such as diving, water skiing, and kneeboarding. Dedicated swimming facilities, called natatoriums, are sometimes built for these and other purposes. Such pools are typically indoors and comply with FINA (Fédération Internationale de la Natation) regulations for temperature, lighting, the color of lane ropes, the positioning of backstroke flags, touchpads to control the timing of events, and other technical details.
When determining the size of your swimming pool, it’s important to take into account the depth of the pool as well as its surface area. The volume of a pool is calculated by multiplying its length times its width and then dividing that by the average depth, using 7.5 gallons as the standard unit.
