Swimming pools provide homeowners with hours of enjoyment year-round. Spending quality time in the water is especially beneficial to families with young children and older adults who want to engage in low-impact, safe physical activities. Here are a few reasons why you should invest in a pool.

How Pools Benefit Your Health

1. Relieves Stress

Any type of physical activity can be advantageous if you feel stressed or overwhelmed. Moving the body is an easy way to redirect your thoughts and focus on something different. Additionally, the aerobic activity gets your endorphins going—these are the hormones responsible for boosting your mood. If you come home stressed and overwhelmed after a long day of work, doing a few laps in the swimming pool may be exactly what you need to unwind.

2. Promotes Healthy Habits

Between computer games and TV shows, it can be challenging to get children interested in playing outside. Install a swimming pool to get them excited about going out for some exercise—this sets the stage for a lifetime of healthy habits.

3. Helps You Get Vitamin D

Swimming outdoors or lounging near the water will expose you to plenty of sunshine, which will help your body produce vitamin D. This essential nutrient can help seniors, as it enhances the body’s ability to absorb calcium to strengthen bones, which prevents osteoporosis.
