5 Reasons Why a Pool is the Best Gift You Can Give

If you’ve been considering a new pool for your backyard, you may be weighing the pros and cons before making such a big decision. While a pool is a big investment, it’s one that is well worth the cost. In fact, a custom swimming pool can be one of the best gifts you can give your family…and yourself. A new pool is way more than just a place to escape the summer heat. It’s a personal, custom-designed oasis where you’ll be creating memories with the people you love most. Read on for five reasons why a pool is the best gift you can give yourself and your family this year.

1. Swimming is an Essential Skill

You can probably get through your entire life without ever needing to swim, but why would you want to? Being able to handle yourself in the water is a confidence builder for kids. Plus, knowing how to swim is truly essential to their safety, especially in Texas where pools are in abundance. Not only do you want your child to be able to manage in case there’s ever an aquatic emergency. Who knows, this essential skill could save their lives — or the life of another person. A family pool is a place to begin building confidence in a comfortable and safe atmosphere.

2. Convenience

Owning your own pool allows you to enjoy all the convenience of wonderful amenities in the comfort of your own home 24/7. No more buying memberships to crowded community pools or having to remember to bring enough towels and sunscreen. No frenzied treks back to the car wondering, “Where’d I put my sunglasses?” And best of all, no using public restrooms or waiting in line for food. Your own kitchen is the furthest you’ll need to go to refill the chips and salsa or your beverage of choice.

3. Learn New Passions

There could be a competitive swimmer in your family, but you’ll never know if you don’t foster their passion for the water. Investing in a new pool is also making an investment in children or grandchildren who turn out to be talented swimmers. Imagine watching your son or daughter receive accolades, knowing your family swimming pool fostered the interest that led to that proud moment.

4. Create Memories

Beautiful memories are often created around water. Birthday parties, graduation parties, reunions, weekend cookouts and even just roasting marshmallows with the grandkids on a cool night create special moments that last forever. Incorporating a custom pool into your backyard allows you the perfect opportunity to create memories with your loved ones.

5. Just Have Fun

Life is full of stress these days, more so than the past. A family pool can provide all the laughter, smiles and fun you need to get through the day. Creating a personal outdoor oasis complete with an outdoor kitchen, fire pit area or relaxing water features will help enhance the experience for the entire family.
