Ways to use your Pool year round - Even in Winter!
As a proud owner of a swimming pool, you may be wondering how you can maximise your investment, not just during the summer months but all year round. With a few thoughtful considerations and some innovative ideas, you can transform your pool into a versatile oasis for enjoyment, relaxation and exercise throughout the seasons. See below our top tips and creative suggestions to help use your pool 365 days a year!
Cold-water Plunges
There is tonnes of research out there explaining the benefits of cold water plunges. Some of the benefits include reducing inflammation, relieves sore muscles, supports immunity and improves mental health. If you choose to keep your pool open all year round, you can use your pool like a cold-water plunge* pool, or even enjoy a cold water swim if you so choose. To make it extra challenging - consider adding swim jets to your pool for added exercise benefits.
Cold-water plunges can also be used as a way of cooling down after a relaxing soak in a spa. We have a range of spa add on packages available so if you are in the early stages of wanting to install a pool, consider adding a spa to maximise year-round usage.

*Cold-water plunges can pose a risk to people with certain conditions. Please speak to your healthcare provider first.
Install a pool heater
Cold weather does not mean your swimming days need to be put on pause. Get the most out of your swimming pool with a heat pump and extend your swim season with minimal running costs. Our heat pump options are smart, cost-effective and extremely energy efficient. Pro-tip: keeping a pool cover on when the pool is not in use can help with the heating cost!
It is relatively straightforward to retrospectively install a heat pump to your existing filtration system. Contact us today to discuss heating options.
Utilise a Pool Enclosure
A pool enclosure is a fantastic investment that provides numerous advantages. It creates a sheltered environment around your pool, shielding it from inclement weather, leaves, debris, and pests. By enclosing your pool, you can enjoy swimming regardless of rain, wind, or snow. Enclosures come in various styles, from retractable roofs to glass enclosures, offering flexibility in adapting to different weather conditions.
