Have you ever found yourself asking that burning question of why should I own a pool? The simple answer is the benefits exceed the drawbacks by a long shot. Below are some incredible benefits of owning a swimming pool that are of value to your family, your home, and yourself.
Swimming is great exercise – 
It has been known that swimming is one of the best ways to get in physical activity. How convenient would it be to have that in your own yard?
Physical & mental stress relief –
Over the past few years, stress seems to be increasing for just about everyone. If you were to stay in your yard and relax in or around your pool, your stress levels would be sure to decrease.
Builds strength and stamina –
Water aerobics is great for building muscle and stamina by using water as resistance.
More sun = more serotonin – 
The sun is the main source of vitamin D. If you are outside and enjoying your pool, this will increase your vitamin D intake, which in hand increases your serotonin levels. Serotonin is a natural chemical in your body that directly affects your mood, typically reflecting happiness and optimism. Just be safe to use sunscreen and not overdo it.
Treats and prevents injuries –
Water buoyancy helps alleviate stress on your joints and muscles. When the water applies pressure to areas, it helps reduce inflammation and over time improves movement.
Sleep better –
According to science, when your body temperature drops, it signals to the brain that it is time for bed. Now, when you exercise, it raises your temperature. When you finish swimming/exercising, your body temperature will drop, signaling to your brain that it is time for a good night’s rest.
Improves heart health –
Aerobic exercise is incredible for your heart. Swimming exercises the heart and lungs. Swimming in a pool is also a highly effective way to reduce your risk for developing cardiovascular disease or coronary heart disease by getting your heart pumping and increasing blood flow throughout your body.
