5 Tips For More Swimming Pool Fun
Summary:
Swimming is a wonderful exercise that can benefit anyone. You can swim in your own pool, your local public swimming pool, or even in the sea. But whatever way you do it, get wet often; it’s good for you and lots of fun too!
1. When you visit the pool, remember to use moderation. Start with a brief 10- to 20-minute time. As your stamina increases, you can raise this. Also, don’t attempt all of the toughest strokes right away. Gradually increase the intensity.
2. Use a quality filter for your pool. Any attempt to cut expenditures here will simply lead to ongoing maintenance expenses. It will also mean swimming in a pool that is always dirty.
3. As soon as you notice a tear in your swimming pool’s liner, fix it. If the tear is three inches or less it should repair easily. You might need to replace the complete liner if it is larger.
4. Don’t allow children (or adults) to run near the pool. Running and diving into a pool is asking for trouble. Accidents can easily happen on slippery surfaces, so play safe always.
5. Find a location to keep your pool toys, chemicals, and cleaners if you notice that they are becoming too much to handle. A shed or pool house near the pool is ideal.
However, be careful not to store chemicals that may react with each other close together. Make sure the space has adequate ventilation as well.
Hand mitts, paddles, swim fins, and kickboards are all ways to make your swimming more fun and challenging to provide better exercise. These days you can even swim to music by using a specially designed radio that fits into a waterproof bag.
Don’t spend the entire day lounging by the pool, then. Take it for what it’s meant to be taken: go swimming and have fun!
