Living in Tampa, chances are you, a family member, or a friend owns a personal swimming pool. With warm weather year-round, we truly live in the perfect climate for residential pools. If you do not already own a pool and are considering adding one onto your home, Larsen’s has a few ideas you may not have thought of. Here are some surprising benefits of working with the best Tampa Pool builders.
Be Social
The first stop on the tour of benefits is the social aspect of owning a pool. Especially if you and your family are new to a neighborhood or are living in a new development, swimming pools encourage social gatherings. Whether it’s cocktails while the kids are away or family barbecues, there are many forms of socializing that takes place around a swimming pool.
You’d be surprised at how many “adult” friendships are made through neighborhood kids congregating in your backyard pool! During the summer months, kids seem to have a “swimming pool” radar and find their way into friends’ homes and swimming pools. Inevitably when Johnny is late for dinner, you have to go round him up. Every time you do this, it’s another visit with parents and neighbors that you wouldn’t have had before. Tampa pool builders are community builders, one late-to-dinner at a time.
You’re More Active
It’s unfortunate but as we move into our older years, our bodies simply can’t perform exercises they once could. Some aerobic exercises like running can be wearing on your body. The open pavement may have called out to you in the past but likely isn’t doing so now. So do we skip aerobic exercise altogether? No, we start swimming instead. Not only does swimming provide relief to your joints and ligaments, but it can burn as many calories as running. Swimming is a total-body workout that won’t break down your body.
Having an accessible swimming pool is also a great precedent for your kids. If they are young, the skill of swimming will be invaluable for their health. For older kids, the pool can be a great place to blow off some steam and expend their extra energy!
Home Value
If you’re thinking about installing a pool in your home, you’re unlikely to be putting it on the real estate market anytime soon. However, one cannot ignore the financial upside of working with Tampa pool builders. At the time of sale, having a pool can increase your home’s value up to 7%. That’s a big chunk of change that can be used against your next mortgage or perhaps invested into home improvement. In most cases, that negates any realtor’s fees you might be responsible for. Although your home value may be in the back of your mind when a new is being built, you could be pleasantly surprised years down the line.
Take a Breather
After a long, stressful day at work, there’s no better feeling than to unwind by your swimming pool. Whether it’s taking in the beautiful weather, getting your nose in a book, or for a little alone time, a swimming pool can be a great place to recharge. You’ll get some essential Vitamin D while you’re at it!
You’ll also be able to let your kids get their fill of fun while you watch from the sidelines. Larsen’s stresses that adult supervision is a necessity at all times. However, there’s a difference between rumbling in the floor with your kids and curling up under the sun by the swimming pool to watch them. A swimming pool does wonders to get out their extra energy and gives you a much-needed breather.
