Maybe you’ve thought about buying a pool, but some excuses popped into your head. One of the most common excuses for not buying is swimming pool costs. While it’s true that a swimming pool is no small decision, it’s likely not as expensive as you think! Especially when you factor in some of these considerations.

1. A Leisure Pool is Built to Last a Lifetime

A swimming pool isn’t something you’ll only enjoy in the short term. At Leisure Pools, our swimming pools are high-quality and built to last a lifetime. So it’s an expense for a product that you’ll enjoy for not one year, not several years, not a decade–but a lifetime. You’ll likely have your swimming pool longer than you have your car!

2. A Pool Can Increase the Value of Your Home

It’s likely you can recoup the cost when you sell your home. Swimming pools often increase the value of your home by at least 7% (and possibly more if you live in a neighbourhood where most homes have pools or it’s a warmer climate).

3. It Will Reduce How Much Money You Spend on Vacations

How much do you spend on vacation? Thousands of dollars each year? When you own a pool, you can create your own backyard paradise and you may find you enjoy staycations so much more. You don’t have deal with travel, long lines to get into attractions or hotels and resorts that don’t quite meet your expectations. You have your own personal oasis right in your backyard.

4. You Can Quit Your Gym  and Pool Membership for the Season

Think about how much you pay for your family’s gym membership each year–and how much more it is if you also pay to use a pool. When you own a pool, it becomes a great outlet for exercise. There’s lap swimming, water aerobics, pool sports, water jogging and even playing with the kids in the pool burns calories. Those memberships you have add up over time.

5. You Have Your Own Event Venue

Stop paying to have parties at venues. When you own a pool, you have the perfect party venue right in your backyard. Think about the possibilities: birthday parties, graduation parties, wedding parties, baby showers, family reunions. They can all be done at your pool!

6. Financing is Available

If you’ve dreamed of a pool but are concerned about forking over the cash don’t fret! You can finance your swimming pool. With Leisure Pools, did you know it costs as little as $19 a week to finance your pool? Learn more about financing your swimming pool here.

7. You Can’t Put a Dollar Value on the Fun, Relaxation and Memories

Let’s face it: Pools are just plain fun. But, they go beyond just that. Swimming pools create a lifetime of memories. They create a place for families and friends to come together. You get to watch your children or grandchildren learn how to swim. You get to experience so many of life’s precious moments by your pool. And that is something that you can’t put a dollar figure on.
