We definitely don’t want to put down beaches, because there are so many happy family memories made on beach trips. From building sandcastles, jumping over waves and long romantic walks on the beach. More often than not, beach days will come with its own set of hazards and issues that sometimes will take the fun out of a nice, relaxing family outing. Don’t worry, we’ve got the answer on ways to keep your family busy without even leaving your home! There are so many benefits to owning a fibreglass swimming pool. The debate will continue about whether pools are better than beaches, and while each has its own advantages and disadvantages, here’s why we believe owning a pool is better than going to the beach!
You Don’t Have To Deal With Sand In Your Bathers
While building a sandcastle is super fun- you will end up absolutely covered in sand, in places you didn’t know could get sandy! Body chafing, rashes and other irritations which come with getting sand wedged in your wet bikini aren’t an issue when you own your own pool. No more ‘sandy’ sandwiches and food, or trying to rinse off at the busy shower before leaving to get sand all throughout your car!
No Travelling Time
Having a pool in your own backyard means no packing the car (don’t forget the sunscreen!), no traffic, no gas and no strapping kids in for a car trip to the beach. If it’s a super hot day- you can just wake up and run outside and dive in the pool! Even swim in your PJs if you want! Then sit back and be grateful you aren’t sweating in a hot car waiting in traffic looking for a carpark. The people who live inland will actually need to apply for leave and then fly or road-trip to get to a beach. Think of all the hours saved to get to your swimming holiday, when each day you come home from work and just jump straight into your pool!
Swim Whenever You Want
You can literally swim whenever you want, with no restrictions or dangers on night swimming. Maybe you feel like a midnight swim under the stars? While it makes perfect sense that public beaches have operating hours due to public safety, it can be limiting.
Swimming pools are better, since you are able to swim literally any time of day or night. You aren’t subjected to any restrictions except your own schedule.
Pools Are Safer!
You don’t have to worry about sharks, stingers or gross seaweed.
When you have a pool you won’t have to worry about getting stings on your legs or tangled in seaweed, maybe just a few stray leaves! Plus there are no crazy currents or rips that can threaten sweeping your swimmers out to sea. Did you know, you can even get jet systems that simulate resistance like you can find in the ocean without the worry of getting swept away. Also at a beach, it is hard to keep track of your kids. Especially if they are excited to be playing in the waves in a crowd of people. However, when you have your own pool, you can sit back and relax with a book knowing your kids are playing safe.
Of course, pools come with their own dangers and you should always watch your children when they are around a pool. However, in your own backyard, you will be able to more easily manage your children and keep them safe.
You Can Swim For Kilometres Yet Still Be In The Comfort Of Your Own Home
If exercise and fitness is your goal and priority, having a pool increases your chances of regular swimming. Plus you get to enjoy kilometres of swimming back and forth without and interruptions or having to look for other swimmers and surfers.
Public Toilet VS Your Home Bathroom
Need we say anymore? Public facilities at the beach can be dirty, vandalised and not very inviting. Having a pool at home means you have a more comfortable place for toilet breaks!
Pools Are Cleaner
From the beginning pools are designed to be clean! Hence why you have a cleaning and maintenance schedule and buy chemicals. In your pool it is pH-balanced, chlorinated water, and you know about the quality and clarity of what you are swimming in, because you maintain it. This cannot be said about the beach. Pools are clear from the oceans plant life, pollution and other messes you can find there.
Better And Cheaper Food Options
Your fridge is the only limit to what you can have for lunch. At a fraction of the cost you will pay at the beach. You don’t have to wait in line for a greasy over-priced burger. Or wondering if the kitchen is clean and what the meal will taste like. Even if you usually pack a lunch and take it to the beach, you always have to think ahead to have it sorted before you go, and pray you don’t forget anything!
A pool at home is better as you can just wander into your kitchen after a swim, or fire up the barbeque, so you can have the lunch you desire.
Weather And Temperature
Beaches are usually windy, as the air is swept off from the ocean. Generally speaking, pools are better shielded from the wind than beaches are. Also if you decide you want to swim during the colder seasons, the ocean water will be freezing cold! If you have a heating system, you can have your pool water’s temperature adjusted to your own preferences.
If it is cold outside, you can heat your pool up to be nice and toasty.
