BENEFITS OF INDOOR SWIMMING POOL


Each type of swimming pool has its own pros and cons. While deciding whether to have an indoor swimming pool or an outdoor swimming pool, the advantages and disadvantages of both have to be looked upon. Here, we have summed up with the benefits of an indoor swimming pool. These may help the one looking for the same.
1. Access and comfort: Swimming is a whole-body exercise and if one has his/her own private pool, the workout will become much easier and even fun, never to be missed out. Indoor swimming pools are readily accessible. One is free of the hassle to go in and out of the home for swimming exercise and other activities if he/she has an indoor pool at home in proximity. It saves time to move out of the property to step in an outdoor pool. It also makes it easy to be regular with health and fitness activities, which may sometimes need to be compromised if one has to visit an outdoor pool.
2. Weather Independent: Swimming in an indoor pool is independent of the weather conditions outside. Whatever be the weather outside, raining, sunny, snowing, cold, what so ever it may be need not be thought of while planning a party by the side of an indoor pool. Not just partying, for regular swimming purposes or even planned ones, one needs not to worry about the weather and the climatic conditions. Such a benefit makes it feasible all year round. Whether it's scorching summer, freezing winter, soothing spring or the autumn, you can enjoy swimming throughout the year with no worries of the weather.
3. Heated indoor pools: The temperature of indoor pools can be controlled with the help of heaters. Even if unheated, owing to no exposure to outside weather conditions, the temperature of indoor pools is more regulated. The climate of the whole pool area and the surroundings will be the same as that of the estate in which it is located. A heated swimming pool is inviting for the family and they can spend more time together. For those who are looking for an indoor pool for fitness and health-related activities, indoor pools are more comfortable as the cold pools outside may lead to respiratory illness and joint stiffness.
4. Privacy: People who do not wish to use the public pools and also do not wish to be a part of many crowded pools can have a private small indoor pool installed in their own estate. This will keep up the convenience as well as privacy.
5. Maintenance Cost: The maintenance cost of an indoor swimming pool is less due to non-exposure to outside dust and debris which require intense clean-up. It's much easy to keep the water crystal clear at all times even with the periodic cleanup of the indoor pool.
6. Shelter: Indoor pools are sheltered and hence not exposed to the sunlight which is one of the main sources of algae spores multiplying in the pool and contaminating it. Tree leaves, dust particles, debris, insects and whatnot are kept away from the pool.
7. Less chemicals used: Owing to lesser exposure to dust, debris and non-exposure to sunlight and associated UV-radiations, indoor pools require lesser chemicals used for sanitation purposes. Lesser chlorine is used since the pool is not exposed to sunlight.
8. Prevention from overexposure to sunlight: Sunny summer days call for swimming as a recreation, but you may not want to get sunbathed. You in such scorching sunny summer days can enjoy aquatic exercises and relax well in your indoor swimming pool. Moreover, even during other weathers, you may not want to get exposed to excessive sunlight. Some of the dangers associated with excessive exposure to sunlight are skin cancer, eye damage and advanced aging.
9. Retractable roof: While swimming indoor, if you want to take the feel of the sky above or want to bathe in sun and be able to create Vitamin D, you can always get a retractable roof installed at the top. The pool will remain indoor with all its added benefits and yet you can enjoy the look of sky above.
10. Refilling the pool: An indoor swimming pool is not exposed to sunlight and therefore, its water is not evaporated soon enough to be needed for re-fill, as the case may be with an outdoor swimming pool.

TYPES OF SWIMMING POOLS

There are different types of pools distinguished on different bases, such as structure, layout, location, etc. Based on location in context with the ground, the pools can be broadly classified in two main categories: 1. In-ground pools: These are the pools made into the ground by digging in the ground and then fitting in a pool structure. 2. Above ground pools: These are the pools that are made above the ground. They are constructed as a standing structure. Based on location premises, again there are two types of pools. 1. Indoor pools: As evident from the name, indoor pools are the pools which are located inside a building or a structure covered by a rooftop and insulated by at least three walls. 2. Outdoor pools: Again as the name suggests, outdoor pools are the pools designed for leisure activities outdoors.

Getting algae out of the pool

Having a pool for swimming and other leisure activities needs maintenance too. Proper hygiene needs to be kept to make the pool fit to be used for exercise and other recreational activities. The pool needs proper sanitization to prevent health and any other aesthetic problems. One of the problems a pool does face is the growth of algae; which is indeed unwanted. To get rid of algae in the pool needs proper measures to be carried out within the proper time frame. Here, we will discuss some of the same to ensure the pool is free from algae. But, first we need to understand, Why and how do algae enter any pool? Algae are the small aquatic creatures that can multifold rapidly using the nutrients from the pool. Algae spores are almost present at all times but they bloom when the sanitation and hygiene are not proper. They get ample nutrients for their sustenance. Algae spores are also carried by wind and can easily blow into the pools. People swimming in the pool may too become ...
