Let's face the facts. Swimming pools are not for everybody. They do cost money and they have to be maintained. I have never had anybody tell me that they wanted a pool just so they would have something to do. Ninty five percent of the time we hear, "we are looking for a pool for the kids". Pools are great for exercise and helping you to stay healthy, but most of the time they are for the kids. In these days of the "staycation" what a great thing to invest in. Our kids spend ALL summer in the pool, and with all their friends and cousins coming over we end up with a full house. But isn't that what it's all about?
