Pools

‘Tis the season to be jolly. While many people have to close their pools for the season thanks to frigid temperatures and those white flakes of snow, some parts of the country are able to enjoy the poolside year-round. We’ve got some tips on how you can maximize your pool this holiday season, whether you’re enjoying it alone, with family, or with friends. 

The Perfect Time to “De-Stress”

From shopping to cooking and traveling, the holiday season is fun but can be super stressful. However, if you have a pool, then you’ve got an excellent stress reliever in your yard. Turn on the heater and swim around for a bit to melt your stress away. Even if you don’t feel like swimming you can just sit by the pool and read a book or just take in the crisp air. A glass of wine wouldn’t be too crazy right about now.

Spend Time With Your Family

With everyone on a little holiday break from school or work, what better time than now to spend some quality time with your family? With today’s climate and many being encouraged to stay closer to home, it’s a great time to enjoy your backyard oasis and create lasting moments for a holiday to remember. 

Get Started on Your New Year’s Health Resolutions

Your New Year’s resolution probably has a space dedicated to working out more or improving your health. Why do you have to wait till January 1st to begin? Swimming can provide a total body workout, building endurance and muscle strength, as well as improving your cardiovascular health. Winter is the perfect time to build your summer body! 

Channel the Holiday Spirit

Your pool can also be a great canvas for some Christmas decor. Start by adding a fire pit. Then go all out with white string lights, an outdoor Christmas tree, festive floats, red chair cushions. Your backyard is your canvas and you can really pull together a cohesive holiday look that’s sure to bring the cheer and spirit this season. 

Party Time

If you’re planning on having family over during the holidays, why not make it a pool party? It doesn’t mean you have to get in the pool, but rather enjoy the fresh air and calming ambiance that hanging by a pool brings. Fire up the fire pit, heat the pool, play holiday music, and serve some classic holiday snacks and beverages. Simple but good old-fashioned fun time to spread the holiday cheer during a time that needs it most.
