If you’re thinking about installing a swimming pool in your home, you’ll need to decide what your family’s needs are and how you want the pool to play a role in your landscape design. It will also be important to consider your budget, lot size and local codes.
A swimming pool is a type of water feature used for recreational activities, including synchronized swimming, canoe polo and underwater sports such as underwater hockey. It is usually a rectangular or oval-shaped pool measuring 25 m (82 ft) to 50 m (164 ft) in length and 1.35 m (4.4 ft) to 2.95 m (9.8 ft) deep.
Having a pool in your backyard is not only a great way to spend quality time with your kids, but it can also be a good exercise for adults and seniors. Swimming is a low-impact form of exercise that can help reduce stress and improve your mood. It also helps to release endorphins that make you feel better.
The best pools are ones that can be easily maintained, with easy access to maintenance tools and accessories. They should have a cover that prevents heat loss and evaporation, ensuring that the water is warm enough for swimming.
Safety is the most important factor to consider when selecting a pool for your backyard. You’ll need to look at the depth of the pool and its safety features, like non-slip surfaces and safe steps.
There are many different types of pools available, so it’s important to know your family’s unique needs and how you want the pool to play & fit into your landscape design. As you tour these options, remember to consider your budget and how much time, money and effort you are willing to put into making the pool you choose a reality.
