The Benefits of Owning a Swimming Pool
Reading Time: 3 minutes
From hosting pool parties to going for a relaxing dip after a long day in the office, having a swimming pool in your backyard always brings a wide range of benefits.
Extremely versatile and perfect for all the family, while these social advantages are probably going to be at the forefront of your mind when it comes to having a pool installed, there are actually several lesser-known benefits that you can also make the most of.
At Claffey Pools, we’ve spent years making our customers’ dreams become reality. Installing stunning pools in backyards across the Southlake Texas, Colleyville & Coppell area, we know a thing or two about the benefits owning one can bring.
In this month’s blog, we’ve put together a list of what we think the best benefits of owning a swimming pool are.
You’ll get lots of exercise
One thing many people don’t consider is the great benefit having a pool can have on their health and cardiovascular fitness.
Doing laps in your pool each day is a fantastic way to increase fitness, while also burning calories, increasing your heart rate, and keeping your muscles moving.
Plus, it’s low impact, so a perfect way for even the most immobile of individuals to get some exercise. Unlike running, or team sports like basketball and soccer, swimming places minimal strain on your body and joints. And if your pool also has a spa, you’ll get the benefit of hydrotherapy, too.
Great convenience
If you’re a keen swimmer who loves to get in the water, having a pool in your yard is so much more convenient than making weekly, or even daily, trips to the local pool.
It’s quite literally there whenever you need it, you don’t need to abide by any opening hours and there are no members of the public to get in your way.
You can simply get in and out of the water at your convenience.
It’s clean
Staying on the theme of public pools, another thing you don’t have to worry about when the pool is in your yard is cleanliness. As long as you properly treat the pool with regular chemicals as required, your personal pool will remain fresh and clean.
While the water in public pools is usually up to standard, the facilities can be hit and miss. And any place that is used by a large number of people has the potential to be a little mucky.
Increase your home’s value
The inclusion of a swimming pool in your backyard can also have practical benefits. Perhaps the most important of these is that it can increase the value of your property.
A swimming pool is a desirable feature, so any home that has one in place is likely to have a higher value compared to one that doesn’t. Think about it, if you could choose between having a pool or not, it’s likely you’d always opt for the property that has one in place. Therefore, more people will likely be interested in the property which increases its value.
So, if you’re considering selling your home or are a landlord looking to rent, having a pool in your yard means you’ll likely get a higher price.
Make memories
A swimming pool is a perfect addition to any family home. From teaching your children to swim to horsing around in the water with them, you really cannot place a value on the positive memories you can make from your pool.
The memories you make will last a lifetime, and this alone is worth having a pool installed.
And have fun!
Above all else, the biggest benefit of owning a swimming pool is the fun it can bring. Whether it’s with your family, a pool party with friends or simply being content with your own company, the boundless joy a pool can provide is always the main benefit you can expect.
