A Perfect Swimming Solution

Answer 1

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.
