Why You Should Consider Installing a Backyard Swimming Pool – Part 1

Last updated on November 28, 2018 by Sozo Staff Leave a Comment

Maybe you’re like any number of homeowners out there who have gone back and forth debating whether or not to get a pool in their backyard. There are all sorts of factors to ponder, including the initial and continual costs involved in installation and upkeep, return on investment, and many personal benefits. While taking the plunge into pool ownership is a big decision, there are lots of reasons why it’s worth your serious consideration. Here are some of the main advantages that owning a pool could bring to your life and family.

Pools Provide Instant Recreation at Home

Sometimes you just want to relax, unwind, and get away from it all. So, why don’t you take the time to do just that more often? If you’re like many other tired, overworked homeowners, the reason why you don’t get the downtime you feel like you need is that it takes planning and effort even to manage a short trip to a cottage on the lake or an excursion to the beach. After you’ve made your travel plans, found someone to care for your pets, packed up snacks and supplies, and loaded up your vehicle, you’re already worn out just from getting ready to get away from it all!

Wouldn’t it be so much easier if you could simply head out to your very own backyard oasis and spend all that extra time you save on your outing preparation soaking in some rays or playing in the water with your kids? As with nearly any enjoyable activity in life, the easier it is, the more likely you are to take advantage of it. If you own a pool, you’ll have a constant option for rest and recreation right in your own backyard. What could be more convenient than that?

Pools Provide an Ideal Private Exercise Area

If you’ve ever paid for a gym membership and later regretted it because you didn’t use it enough, a pool may be your perfect exercise solution. The same thing that keeps you from taking frequent vacations can also keep you from getting the regular exercise you need: time and hassle. With your busy lifestyle, going to the gym is just one more item on your to-do list that’s often easy to omit after a long day at the office. If you own a pool, however, it’s easy to get your workout in at a time that’s convenient for you no matter what kind of hours you’re working.

Many homeowners also love the privacy that exercising in their own pool has to offer. Wherever you are on your fitness journey, you may feel self-conscious working out around other people. When you own a pool, you don’t have to worry about how you look while exercising.

Pools are also a great exercise option for people who are motion-limited due to joint pain. Water exercise is low-impact, so you can get an effective workout without harming or inflaming your joints. If you’ve suffered an injury, a swimming pool is actually an ideal setting for many types of physical therapy.

Pool workouts are also more versatile than many other types of exercises, such as treadmills or other workout machines that tend to get boring and repetitive over time. There are so many different swimming strokes and water aerobics moves you can learn that you don’t ever have to worry about running out of new ideas for working out in the pool! It’s also a great option for getting your workout in outside on a hot day where running or walking would leave you a hot, sweaty mess!

Exercise and relaxation at home are two of the biggest reasons people mention when it comes to installing a pool at home. In the next article in this series, we’ll explore even more perks to owning your very own pool.
