Benefits of a Personal Swimming Pool

When the summer days are long and hot, there is nothing like jumping into a cool swimming pool for some outdoor fun. Having a swimming pool in your landscape means that you can get the kids outside for some fresh air and exercise as they play and splash.

Swimming has been scientifically proven to be an excellent exercise for your bones, muscles, respiratory system and your heart since the water keeps the stress off of your joints while providing a great workout. Pool parties can be perfect for birthdays, graduations, and any other celebration.

Customizing a Pool

Pool Fountain

The choices for a pool fountain are plentiful. You might select small bubbling fountains in the shallow end on the steps for the little ones to enjoy or you could have a rock wall of bubbly fountains on one side of the pool. You might love 2-3 arching sprays into the water from the floor of the pool deck or you could have a rock cave where a waterfall spills into the pool just like in the jungle.

Spa

A pool and spa combination can provide the ultimate relaxation through your own hydrotherapy spot. You can enjoy the calming spa while the kids play in the pool and just imagine how you will feel when you finish a long day with a cool swim and nightcap in the spa.

In-Ground Hot Tub

If combining the swimming pool and spa aren’t what you envision, then planning an in-ground hot tub might be the way to go. You can enjoy a hot tub at any time of the year and they are generally easy to keep clean and maintain.

You can choose stone, decorative tile, or glass tile to give a special look to this feature. Nestled by a brick or stone wall, an in-ground hot tub can be completely private from the swimming pool.

Landscape Lighting

Subtle, well-planned landscape lighting can extend the use of a pool, spa, or hot tub longer into the day since all swimming doesn’t occur only during the daylight hours. When you illuminate the surrounding pool landscape as well as the interior of the pool, nighttime swimming can be a fun family tradition or a tranquil way to end the day.
