If you’re planning to install a swimming pool in your backyard, there are a number of important considerations before making your final decision.

Swimming can be an exciting and healthy way to get in a workout, but if you are unfamiliar with the rules of public pools it can also be hazardous. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) people should wear life jackets, use proper flotation devices, and practice basic water safety techniques prior to entering any pool. Some public pools even have designated sections for adults and kids so always check beforehand!
Due to an acute shortage of lifeguards, Hong Kong authorities are struggling to maintain an open pool environment this summer – creating anxiety among swimmers and the general public alike. Only 40 of 600 seasonal lifeguards have returned for work; leisure authorities acknowledge a full reopening of public beaches and pools is unlikely this year.

Crafted with quality materials for assembly in 30 minutes with just two people.

There are a few rules you should abide by when visiting a pool, such as no running on the deck and no horseplay in the water. Food or drinks cannot be brought into the pool, and showering before entering will also be necessary. In addition, you will require a bathing suit, sunscreen and towel.
An outdoor pool can be an amazing addition to any home, but its expenses and upkeep may exceed expectations. Before purchasing one, do some research to make sure it’s the ideal match for both your lifestyle and budget; speaking to family and friends may provide insights. Also take into consideration how often it will be used and any costs related to installation, repair and ongoing maintenance expenses as you make your decision; the investment will more than pay for itself when enjoying a relaxing swim in your own private pool!
