By Marci Glover


The heat is upon the country once again, which means it is almost time for the favorite season for most people which is summer. During this time, people go on vacations. They also immerse themselves in activities that would fight of the heat. For example, people quench their thirst by making shakes and smoothies. They submerge their bodies in nearby bodies of water. Most go to the beaches. Some go to public pools. Then there are also some who enjoy their vacation waddling in their very own fiberglass pools.

A swimming pool is a container that is filled with water. It is mainly used for swimming and for other water based activities that provide enjoyment. Pools can be accessible for everyone, and can also be exclusive to a select few. They come in varying sizes according to the amount of space intended for it. The largest one is the Olympic size which, yes you got that right, used in Olympic competitions.

The pool started out as early as 3000 BC. During then, Pakistanis have what they call the Great Bath, a sunken area which is bordered with bricks put together by tar. The Romans and Greeks have more serious reasons for making their own versions. These were used for training by those aspiring to be sailors or to be military men.

The predecessor of the present models people use today started out in Britain in the mid nineteenth century. They were made to ensure safety while swimming. Before the utilization of said amenities, many Britons drowned to death by swimming in a particular river. This river was pretty dangerous due to its strong currents which is why the local government closed it off from the public.

There are many different types of pools. Private ones are open to a select few. They are most often found in exclusive club houses where only the members and their guests get to enjoy the amenities. Public types are larger than private ones, and are usually part of a big water complex. For a small fee, anyone can swim in during open hours.

There are those that are especially for little ones. They measure not more than four feet to reduce the risk of drowning. There are also those that feature waves and currents that mimic natural bodies of water. These are exercise pools that people use to burn fats and at the same time practice so that they will be ready to swim in the actual one without the risk of an accident or an injury.

There are also those that are connected to salty bodies of water. They are known as ocean pools and provide for a private setting for its users. Those that look limitless are termed as infinity because they seem to stretch to the ends of the world.

They are also classified according to the materials from which they are made. Concrete pools are the traditional ones that everyone knew. These are especially made for diving because they do not have standard sizes. In short, you are free to make your own design that will best fit your needs.

There are also new ones that are currently making a huge trend in the market. These pools are made from fiberglass. They are made so by manufacturers to reduce the risk of bruises often sustained by one every time he gets in and out of the water. They are easy to make and install. In fact, you can have your own pool in three days time if you choose to have this one installed.
