WINTER is the best time to build a pool, but if your other half won't hear of it, here are some great arguments to make them change their mind.
1. Owning a swimming pool is like being on permanent holiday - without the expense.
2. It's a theme park at home without the travel, cost and parking hassles. Make queuing for the slide a thing of the past.
3. Why pay for a gym membership when swimming in the pool at home is free, convenient and puts less stress on limbs and joints.
4. De-stress at any hour of the day or night.
5. Get the kids out into the fresh air, away from the TV and and video games.
6. Pools are easy to maintain thanks to advanced electronics, remote controls, robotic pool cleaners and cleaning and maintenance services available from pool suppliers like Swimart.
7. A pool is not only fun and functional but also adds grace to the landscape.
8. Sitting by the pool early in the morning while the birds chirp and the air is still cool is a great way to start the day.
9. A pool adds a special something to the atmosphere of any gathering.
10. Make some memories as you splash and play in the water with friends, fadmily — and especially the kids.
