 There are over five million in-ground residential pools in the United States. The majority of these pools are in either California or Florida, and the cost of installing new in-ground swimming pools is generally more expensive than in other states. There may be a unifying reason, or set of reasons, that explains why residential swimming pools are so popular in those two states. One such reason, may be that it is more appealing to swim in private than on public beaches. When out-of-state residents think of Florida, they often think of sandy beaches and beautiful weather. While those visions are not wrong, many people forget to add in some of the other factors that are not as appealing, like the tourists and the hassle of traveling to the beach. In fact, Florida is one of the top travel destinations in the world, so there are a large number of visitors at any given time. To avoid these problems, many Palm Beach area residents have added an in ground pool to their property. Being able to have a personal water oasis is a very appealing way to enjoy Florida’s average 82 degree weather. It is also a great way to cool off when the humidity gets especially high, as it tends to do in Southern Florida. Another reason that residents often install in ground pools is that it will generally increase the value of a home. From 1980 to 2008, over 13 million people moved to Florida while another roughly 9 million moved away. New Florida residents are often impressed by homes that have in-ground pools so they can get the full “Florida experience,” which includes taking a dip in the pool during warm weather. Selling a home is generally faster when it has an attractive, well-kept pool or water feature. Those who own in ground pools also use them for low-impact exercise and to generally relieve stress. In-ground pools are a great way to spend time with family and friends as well. In today’s technology driven world, it is sometimes difficult to drag parents and kids away from electronics long enough to spend time together as a family. An in ground pool helps increase family time by removing many of those electronic distractions. Investing in a pool could make your home the gathering place for neighbors, family, and friends as well. Keeping teenagers at home enjoying the pool also means that you will always know where they are and what they are doing. It is a great investment for family members of all ages. Installing an in-ground pool can be a very simple process, especially if it is done professionally. There are many types of in ground pools, including: indoor and outdoor pools, sports or lap pools, infinity pools, rock waterfall pools, customized finish or black-bottom pools, and lagoon or natural pools. Each type has a different function and the best option for any family will vary depending on their needs. There are a number of pool installation companies in the Palm Beach area. One such company is The Pool Doctor of the Palm Beaches ( http://www.poolspalmbeaches.com/ ), they are a professional pool installation company that installs customized pools to fit the lifestyle of their clients.
