Pool vs. Spa – Discover the Benefits

In and of themselves, both a pool and a spa offer their own wonderful benefits. However, they can work in concert together quite nicely. Together or separately, you will undoubtedly enjoy either product. However, to gain a clearer perspective, let’s take a closer look at the pros and cons of each.

A Pool

Pros:

• Allows for more room to swim (if you are into laps and lots of exercise, you have to have the space._)
• Gives you more room for fun and games
• Helps cool you down (and, yes, we realize pools can be heated, if desired)
• Ideal for hosting parties

Cons:

• Takes up more space (not always ideal for smaller backyards)
• Depending on where you are geographically located, you may not be able to enjoy it year-round

A Spa

Pros:

• Warm, relaxing, and stress-relieving
• Therapeutic
• Can fit in most any backyard
• Ideal for socialising with small groups

Cons:

• Less room than a pool
• More chemical maintenance required due to higher water temperatures

Nevertheless, depending on your needs, wants, and perspective, some of the pros may be cons and some of the cons may appear to be pros. It is all about personal preference. Above all, the decision to get one or the other or both really boils down to how you want to use your space and how your space can adapt to those desires.

Type of Pools and Spas

Pools come in all shapes, sizes, and design styles – small, large, rectangular, square, and freeform. For a fully customized backyard pool, a concrete or vinyl liner pool can be built right in your backyard.

Fiberglass, though, is a bit different, but because of the many advantages fiberglass pools have over the other types of pool materials (durability, low maintenance, lower lifetime cost), their popularity is escalating. Crafted from molds and manufactured off-site, the designs are determined by the pool manufacturer. While you might assume that limits your options, you’d be surprised at how many different styles there are from which to choose.

Plus, fiberglass swimming pools also come with many attractive add-on features, such as tanning ledges, benches, swim lanes, water features, and more. You can truly create a one-of-a-kind swimming experience with little effort and a lot of imagination.

When you have a backyard pool, you have access to a wonderful place to exercise and a soothing place to relax. Further, an inground backyard swimming pool greatly enhances the overall ambiance and presentation of your space.

A backyard pool can make all the difference between having the kind of backyard that makes vacation resorts envious or just a green space that gets little to no attention. Additionally, a backyard swimming pool is the ideal place to host gatherings for family and friends, make some memories, or just hang out by yourself and enjoy a one-of-a-kind work-from-home scenario. The opportunities are endless.

Adding a spa to the mix can be a great idea, especially if you use intend to use it regularly. Yes, a spa is a luxury, so you want to make sure you can commit to its usage and to its overall maintenance requirements, as it does take a bit of time and energy to maintain it. In the long run, however, if you choose to invest in a spa, you can soothe your aches, pains, and worries away and concentrate on good times, good friends, and enjoy your personal stress-free zone.

When It’s Time to Choose Between a Pool, a Spa, or Both

Granted, for some people, it’s not feasible or even sensible to get both a pool and a spa. You know what you can afford and what will meet your needs. Pools and spas do go together, but that doesn’t mean you can’t just settle on one. Only you can fully determine which choice to make and if the associated costs and commitments with one or both are worth it to you.

At Leisure Pools, our focus is on providing high quality inground fiberglass pools and spas. If you want to know more about your pool and spa options or just want to learn more about our installation process, call 855-857-7527 to find a pool dealer/installer near you or visit our website.
