There are so many reasons to get a beautiful backyard swimming pool here in Orlando. Last week we started our Top 10 reasons to have an in-ground pool constructed on your property. Here are the last 5

5. Quality time outdoors. Sometimes it can be hard to get the kids and sometimes adults, to go outside, especially on a hot summer day. A refreshing swim in the pool can lure the outside.

4. Keep everyone together. Having a swimming pool in your own backyard means your children’s friends or maybe even your grandchildren, will be visiting more often.

3. Quality family time. When was the last time everyone was enjoying the backyard all together? The kids playing in the pool, Dad barbecuing burgers, and Mom relaxing on a lounge chair, time spent with family is worth every second!

2. Everyone is happier and sleeps better. Have trouble falling asleep? Swimming relaxes the muscles and the mind, not to mention it is very tiring.

A recent study by Swimming.org,

Found that taking a regular dip at your local pool can make you feel happier as well as healthier, with participants reporting an increase of 35% in positivity during a major new four-week study.

The results have also shown that the low impact sport is a tonic for everyday life, increasing levels of sleep quality (+40%) and energy levels (+51%) and fitness levels (+15%) during the course of the study.

Just a few laps a week can have an almost immediate effect, with those donning their swimsuits seeing an increase of 20% in their overall levels of wellbeing after just one week. These levels were maintained for the duration of the study, peaking again at 29% in the final week.

And it seems the soothing qualities of the water could help make the nation less grumpy; negative emotions decreased (-33%) at almost the same rate as positive emotions increased (+35%), suggesting that we could all be water babies at heart.

In fact, a few more laps in the pool could even be the secret to a good night’s sleep, with those swimming for more than 2.5 hours a week reporting that their levels of sleep quality improved by over double (60%).
