Why Owning a Pool is Better than a Trip to the Beach

A dip in the pool versus a dip in the ocean: It’s a common dilemma, especially during the warmer months of the year. If you’re considering getting your own inground pool for your backyard, you’ll want to read the following article on why owning a pool is better than a costly beach trip that usually only lasts a week. Your own inground pool is an investment that will last a lifetime!

Reasons a Pool is Better than the Beach

Many Anthony and Sylvan customers love the beach, but still prefer their own inground pool. That’s why they’ve found a backyard pool to be a worthy investment. Here’s why owning a pool is better than a trip to the beach.

Cut Down on the Travel Time

When your pool is in your own backyard, you never have to worry about travelling for hours in the car or on a plane to get to the fun. Instead, you can just step outside into your backyard oasis! Instead of spending time stuck in traffic or packing up the car, all you need to do is grab your bathing suit, a towel, and some sunscreen, and you can start enjoying your day to the fullest.

No Need to Worry about Sea Creatures

The ocean is home to sea creatures that aren’t always friendly or safe for swimmers. From jellyfish to sharks to stingrays, there is danger at the beach. Not only will you have to be on the lookout to protect yourself, but you need to watch out for your kids, too! With a backyard pool, you’ll never have to worry about dangerous predators in the water. Plus, you won’t have to worry about fish bothering you, stepping on shells, or slimy, gross seaweed!

It’s Easier to Keep an Eye on the Kids

A backyard pool is much safer than the beach. With the beach, it’s easy for kids to wander off and explore the area. With a backyard pool, you will have a much easier time keeping an eye on them and their activities. No need to worry about losing your kids in a crowd of people or amongst the waves when you can see them having fun in your backyard pool.

You Won’t Need to Pack Anything

Want a beverage? Need a snack? You won’t need to pack snacks or beverages when the pool is in the comfort of your backyard. Plus, you won’t have to worry about loading up your car with beach towels, floaties, books or any other essentials you may need for a day at the beach. All you have to do is walk into the house to have everything you need for a fun day.

Swim on Your Own Schedule

Sometimes, beaches and public swimming areas close down at certain times for safety concerns. With an inground pool in your own backyard, you can swim all day or all night. Simply open the back door and there you are!

The Best Exercise is Nearby

Shedding pounds is far easier when the best aerobic exercise is right outside your backdoor!  No need to get up even earlier and trek to the community pool or YMCA to get a few laps in.  You can do it more frequently and more conveniently with your own swimming pool.

Avoid Sand Getting… Everywhere!

Do you hate getting sand over all your towels and in your shoes? We feel your pain. Having a backyard pool means you won’t have to worry about sand getting into all of your belongings.
