2024 is fast approaching and if you remember the summer of the last two years you’ll remember just how hot it got. Of course, the perfect remedy to this is to get a pool in your back garden where you can cool off. Although many people in the UK are resistant to the idea of putting in a pool, there are some pretty solid reasons why it’s a great idea. Keep reading to find out what they are.

It’s not as expensive as you might think

The number one issue that holds most people in the UK back from installing a swimming pool is the costs involved. However, while a pool may seem like a luxury, many people find that the cost of putting in a pool is not as high as they first thought.

Indeed, many different types of pools can be installed in your garden from small and plunge pools to above-ground pools. Many of which provide a much more financially economical option.

You don’t have to do the work of maintaining it yourself 

If what is putting you off putting a pool in your garden is all the maintenance work like cleaning and checking the PH that is involved, there is a solution. The solution is to find a local business that specialises in pool maintenance that can take over these tasks for you. The great benefit of this is that you get a spotless, clean and safe pool to enjoy along with plenty of time to enjoy, as the professionals will deal with all the maintenance issues needed to keep it in tip-top condition.

It will elevate playtime 

If you are looking for the ultimate way to elevate playtime in the hot weather then a pool has to be it. Yep instead of playing with splash balls and water bombs on the grass it can all be done in the pool. Then there are all the additional games you can play while keeping nice and cool in the hot summer sun from having fun with inflatable beach balls, to using pool noodles and floats!

It provides excellent opportunities for swimming practice 

It’s very important for many of us that our kids learn to swim as early as possible and understand water safety. Having your very own pool can help expedite this process as your kids will get plenty of swimming practice, rather than just going to a lesson once a week.

Also having a pool makes it essential to educate your kids on water safety very early on. This will get them in good habits for the rest of their childhood when it comes to how to behave around water.

You can install covers and heating so it can be used in all weathers 

One of the primary concerns when it comes to installing a pool in the garden in the UK is that people are worried they won’t get enough use out of it to justify the cost. However, what you need to remember is that you can use your pool all year round if you install a cover and/or heating.

Indeed, there are many cover options including clear covers on rollers that can be pulled right back when the day is sunny but pulled over the pool when it’s cold or wet and will keep the heat in.
