Pool Gear To Make Your Swimming Area Fit Your Environment

By Carmella Watts


Some fun pool gear will be ideal for your summer this year. There are several ways that you can use various items to to have a relaxing time in the water. The following are recommended items that are fun and groovy, and that will surely improve your swimming experience this summer.

Water fountains are such fun for the kids; they make swimming go from just moving up and down to maybe having an exciting water fight. Kids love to splash each other and have a great game in the water. These fountains are available in many different designs and will fit most swimming pools.

Grownups would also like their pools to be more entertaining areas, and not just places where the children play. There is perhaps nothing better than putting in a bar and adding some attractive lighting. You won't need to run up to the house to get another drink, and won't need to be so organized making sure you have brought more than one drink. The ice will just melt anyway while you are enjoying a swim.

Relaxation is what the outdoor area is all about, and so many people like the idea of having a big armchair in the middle of their pools. Along with this accessory you could add a nice glass of something cold and a good book. Or, maybe you would prefer to just lie back and float around the beautiful water on a hot sunny day. In this case, a flat Lilo would be ideal. There are so many options available.

Then there is the expense of having the plumbing installed for both these features. If you have very deep water, then a cheaper option might be to install a balance beam or dueling log. You will need to take into consideration the size of the water surface, as you will need to make sure you have good clearance on all sides. You will then need to decide if you want to have it mounted or suspended.

When swimming pools are put into a natural environment, the plants should be considered carefully. Palms are great options as they don't drop many leaves, and they are easy to trim off before they drop. Succulents are a good option because they are easy to maintenance, and don't need much care and attention. Rocks or pebbles make a good cover over the garden as they help to keep the weeds down and look really good around palms and succulents.

Imagine making your outdoor area green for a kid's party, or blue for the teenagers. Then changing the color for when it is just you and your partner relaxing on a hot sticky evening. Those nights where you just want to have a cool down and relax after a hard day's work and you just want something soft and enjoyable for both you and your partner. Or maybe you just want it so that you can see to do laps for fitness in the evenings when the light is fading.

The most important piece of pool gear, other than the people, is sun block. Make sure, when you are enjoying playing with the family or are just floating around relaxing, that you slip on a t-shirt, some sunscreen, a hat and a pair of sunglasses to stay protected from that dangerous sun. It is no fun when you get a bad sunburn.
