If COVID-19 is preventing you from swimming at your local pool, why not enjoy doing what you love in your own backyard?
This year, as COVID-19 threatens to delay the opening of public swimming pools and clubs, consider getting a backyard swimming pool or spa.
You’re not alone if you’ve been itching to set up your own private backyard oasis as this pandemic drags on. In fact, according to the Swimming Pool & Spa Association CEO, Chris Samartzis, “Due to COVID-19 and the trepidation with travel, people are taking their money and investing it in a backyard pool.”
So what type of swimming pool should I get?
There are so many varieties of swimming pools available – from large, high-end in-ground concrete pools through to fibreglass, vinyl-lined and small lap or plunge pools, there’s a SPASAVIC member that can provide you with your perfect solution.
Regardless of the size and shape of your backyard - and your budget - there is a pool or spa for everyone.
Ongoing maintenance is a must to ensure satisfactory water chemistry, sanitation, and the overall appearance of your pool. "If left untreated, your pool water could grow algae blooms or become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and serious bacteria like E. coli," Mr Samartzis says.
Any time of year is a great time to build a swimming pool, but here are 5 great reasons to install one over the Winter months.
- No waiting The lead up to Christmas is a crazy time in the pool and spa industry. Pool builders and associated industries such as landscapers and fencing companies all experience their busiest time pre-Christmas, which can result in delays. Pool builders are also often fully booked in Spring and Summer. If you wait until the weather warms up to start to think about getting a pool, you could be in for a long wait.
- Best Price Pricing is at its best in Winter. Suppliers come on board with great discounts and incentives and these awesome deals are passed on to customers. Although there are many benefits to installing a pool in Winter, the fact that you can potentially save thousands of dollars is one of the best incentives by far.
- You’ll be ready for Summer If you wait until the weather warms up to plan your pool build, you could miss some great swimming time. You could be entertaining and relaxing poolside as soon as Summer arrives if you build in Winter.
- Water views year-round A pool is not just for swimming, it’s also a beautiful feature of your property whatever the season. With the addition of pool lights, water features, deck jets or even a matching fire pit, your pool can give your home a resort feel year-round. Perfect for a family stay-cation!
- Less lawn to mow With the pool automation that is now on the market, you can relax and spend time enjoying your pool and backyard instead of working in it. Just speak to your SPASAVIC pool builder about the options available.
