How To Use A Pool In The Fall





Are you thinking about building a pool but worried that you will only get to use it for a few months out of the year? A pool is fun to swim in, but it also is a essential part of your backyard living environment! So, as the temperature outside begin to drop as fall approaches, know that you don't have to shut down your pool for the year. Your pool can be used year ‘round for a number of different activities. 

Make It An Active Pool

Why not extend the life of your pool and go for a swim this fall? Get the heater going for those chillier October days and continue to use your pool before the temperatures dip closer to the freezing point. 

Not a fan of swimming? Then those looking to get a bit of exercise can easily do their very own “aqua-size” or aquatic exercises in the privacy of their backyard. You can use a number of things that you likely already have on hand to enhance your water workout (such as a pool noodle or a milk carton filled with water), or you can purchase floating dumbbells and other pieces to add resistance and increase your strength.

Make It An Party Decorative Area

Pools don’t only need to be used for swimming; they can also be used to enhance the appearance of your backyard at any time throughout the year. One of the simplest and most elegant ways to get decorative with your pool this fall is to create floating paper lanterns. If you plan on having guests over for a backyard barbeque, this will be sure to please. All you need are some lunch bags, sand, Styrofoam and battery-operated votive candles to piece together these easy lanterns. You can even purchase or make lunch bags that match the theme of your special event.

 

Fire bowls, heat stands and outdoor fireplaces add an ambiance to the pool area.  They provide light and sometime much needed heat.   Have a tale gating party right in your back yard with a big screen TV!

Another great idea to help make your pool the focal point of your backyard is to float flowers in the water. Wider-based flowers tend to work best (such as orchids and gerbera daisies), though you can also purchase silk flowers (these tend to stay afloat better than real flowers).

Lastly, visit your local pool store and see if they have any portable pool fountains that you can use to spruce up your yard. If you’re purchasing it close to the end of summer or in the fall, you may be in for some great discounts.
