A Perfect Swimming Solution?
The days are getting hot and the kids are begging for a trip to
the beach or the public swimming pool to find some relief from the
sweltering heat. But adults generally are not so keen on making
this trip. Many people do not have access to a beach, and those
that do oftentimes find them dirty, crowded, and potentially
dangerous with the threats of rip tides and strangers. Public
swimming pools are oftentimes unsanitary and some charge an entry
fee. But one cannot blame the kids for wanting to go swimming so
badly-- in the midst of summer, what better way is there to cool
off and relax?
The solution many families turn to is purchasing their own
personal pool. However, installing an in-ground swimming pool
generally costs the consumer tens of thousands of dollars.
Permanent above ground swimming pools are a far more affordable
solution. These pools range anywhere from $900 to about $5,000,
depending on size and depth. Permanent above ground pools are much
more practical than portable above ground pools, which generally
cost around $300 to $400 dollars and must be replaced every few
years.
The advantages of owning a permanent above ground swimming pool
are numerous. Moms and dads can always be sure that the pool is
clean and sanitary. These pools are safer than public swimming
pools or beaches because, being so close to the house, there is
always somebody nearby to keep an eye on the swimmers. Above ground
pools are shallower than in-ground pools, making them safer, but
they are plenty deep enough for swimming, with most having a depth
between 48 and 54. Families also do not have to make a special trip
to go swimming when they own an above ground swimming pool;
swimmers can simply throw on their bathing suits and run into the
backyard.
The purchase of an above ground swimming pool may at first seem
costly, but the benefits of owning one’s own pool far outweigh the
drawbacks. Having a personal pool is a safe and fun way to
entertain the family during the summer. This investment will surely
be appreciated by families for years to come.
