Fun with the family. Plenty of laughs. An easy way to cool off at the end of the day. There’s no limit to all the things we’re thankful for when it comes to our backyard pools—and in today’s blog, in honor of Thanksgiving, we’ll be sharing just a few!

Resort-style swimming, from June to December

Swimming pools are a summertime staple across the country—but where else can you enjoy an afternoon swim long after Labor Day? Sun and mild temperatures persist throughout the season, and a pool heating system makes refreshing dips into the water—even on cooler days—as easy as ever.

A relaxing way to start the day…

The hustle and bustle of busy weekday mornings can get to the best of us—but there’s something comforting about having a relaxing retreat just steps outside the home, always there for a pleasant backdrop to your morning coffee or early swim.

…or bring it to a close

We’re thankful for the opportunity to unwind at the end of the day, floating around in the water or reclining poolside with a snack or favorite book—especially during a season traditionally associated with frosty weather and nights spent huddled indoors! The only things that make a night spent by the pool better are twinkling lights, a flickering fire pit, and, of course, great company there to spend it with you.

Exercise you love doing

There’s no questioning the importance of health and exercise—we’re just thankful that such a great workout opportunity exists in the form of a fun, family-sized pool! Every lap, splash and flip adds to your overall fitness routine—of course, it never feels like a chore to spend time in the pool with friends and family.

A social outlet for friends and family

A backyard pool provides thousands of hours of fun, recreation, fitness and more—but what we’re perhaps most thankful for, is the pool’s ability to bring together friends and family. You’ve seen this for yourself at every family barbecue, outdoor dinner or birthday party in the pool. It’s a uniting factor that’s sure to entice even long distance relatives and the busiest of friends!

This Thanksgiving, let us know what it is about your pool, backyard or beautiful Florida home that you’re most thankful for! We look forward to hearing from you soon.
