Swimming Pool Investment – Improvements Well Beyond the Backyard
(PRWEB) July 26, 2013 -- With summer heat in full force, past promises are being remembered – “Next year, there WILL be a backyard swimming pool!” While the obvious motivation of chasing away the heat is reason enough to invest in a swimming pool, there are many other advantages a backyard swimming pool provides. The good news is that building and maintaining a swimming pool is easier than ever. Even better, a new way to obtain pool financing now makes it easy to build one!
The advantages of pool ownership go far beyond cost value and enhancing the look of a home. One father of four admits his pool was built especially “for the kids…to get them active, out of the house and away from playing video games!”
It is common knowledge that swimming delivers health benefits at any age. It works the entire body with low risk of injury improving the cardiovascular system, building muscle strength and increasing flexibility. Swimming also improves the body’s use of oxygen without overworking the heart. Best of all, there is no stress on bones, joints or connective tissues. The movement of water against and over the body not only delivers a healthy workout, but also massages muscles in a calming effect, decreasing -- or even eliminating -- pain resulting from a workout. It’s the perfect way for the whole family to exercise.
Research reported by The Centers for Disease Control says swimming is the fourth most popular sports activity in the U.S., providing excellent physical and mental health benefits.* You’ve heard the term “swimming in happiness?” A backyard oasis can provide countless hours of quality time with family and friends. What better way to enjoy life and live it to the fullest?
Besides the benefits of family health and fun, a swimming pool may make a property more likely to sell quickly and for the asking price. One of the most common questions in the swimming pool industry is “how much does it cost to build an inground pool?” The answer varies based on location, type of pool, size of pool, added features, etc. In general, expect to pay anywhere from $25,000 to $50,000 for a swimming pool before adding special features and extras. This assumes an AVERAGE pool size, in an AVERAGE city with the AVERAGE cost of living, labor and materials. The most accurate way to find an estimate for the pool you’re dreaming about is to get a quote from a local pool professional.
