Many who could benefit from a home swimming pool shy away from the prospect due to cost, not wishing to make a major change to their property, or the cleaning and maintenance required. But, the many benefits of having a home pool from Swimming Pools East Coast Leisure can greatly outweigh the cost and responsibilities of pool ownership and be well worth the investment. Some of the advantages of pool ownership include:
Exercise! Swimming is an excellent form of regular exercise because it is a low-impact exercise that provides a high cardiovascular workout. Even if a pool owner is not a terrific swimmer, just moving about continually in the water can burn calories and build muscle tone. Having a home pool eliminates the need for costly gym memberships.
Beneficial activity for pregnant women, obese people and those with minor lung dysfunction, such as asthmatics. The buoyancy of the water makes cardiovascular exercise much easier for pregnant and obese people, and it has been shown to increase lung function and overall fitness in those with asthma, while being unlikely to provoke an attack. (Study conducted in Taiwan in 2009)
Socializing is an important part of our lives, and nothing brings friends together like a pool in a back yard. It is a refreshing, cool, and beautiful place for people to gather for parties, events, or just a leisurely afternoon of paddling about. Poolside is also a great setting for the perfect barbecue!
Stress relief is a constant battle for many people in our fast-paced and busy lives. Being able to retreat to a calm and cooling pool after work and on weekends can be like a miracle for one’s mental health. From drifting around on a flotation mattress to working that stress out through rigorous laps, a home pool is a fantastic stress-buster!
With all these benefits to home pool ownership, it is well worth considering as an option for enhancing one’s property and daily life. Whether an above ground pool or an in ground pool is chosen, Swimming Pools East Coast Leisure can make sure that the pool lives up to expectations and will last for years to come.
