There are many reasons to own a swimming pool. We only touch the surface here with the first 100 reasons to own a swimming pool…
1. Vacation anytime

A vacation, a party, a movie or even a month at a theme park all come quickly to an end, but a swimming pool adds pleasure for years.
3. A Pool Feels Right, Day and Night
In the morning air, a walk in the garden, especially by the pool, gives a certain satisfaction. That special feeling also reappears in the evening, under a full moon or in the light cast from garden lanterns. It’s quieter here, more natural and far away from the pace of everyday life.
4. Enjoy life more
No matter how it is used – for games, for relaxation, or for exercise – the pool experience is pure enjoyment at its finest.

So many elders never had the chance to learn to swim: teach them in your own private oasis where they feel comfortable and secure.
