How To Save Money With A Pool

Save money with a pool

Many people think swimming pools are expensive–and the expense is a common excuse for not owning a pool. While a swimming pool is a big decision, it may be a lot more cost-effective than you think since there are areas where it can help you save money. This helps not only make up for the cost of the pool but many future expenses as well.

A pool can replace three recurring expenses—vacations, gym fees, and event venues—before you even factor in resale value.

  • Staycations get easier to choose when the “destination” is already in the backyard, cutting travel costs and the frustration tax of airports, lines, and disappointing hotels.
  • Swimming doubles as family-friendly fitness—lap swimming, water aerobics, water jogging, and pool games can shrink or eliminate annual gym membership costs.
  • Backyard parties stop requiring rental venues, making birthdays, graduations, weddings, baby showers, and reunions a home-hosted line item instead of an invoice.
  • Resale math can help: pools often increase home value by at least 7% in many situations, and financing can be as low as about $70 per week with Leisure Pools.

If the weekly cost fits your budget, the real ROI comes from using the pool like a lifestyle shift—not an occasional novelty.

These are a few ways to save money with a pool

Save Money on Vacations

How much do you spend on vacations? Thousands of dollars each year? When you own a pool, you can create your own backyard paradise and you may find you enjoy staycations so much more. You don’t have deal with travel, long lines to get into attractions or hotels and resorts that don’t quite meet your expectations. You have your own personal oasis right in your backyard.

Save Money on a Gym Membership

Think about how much you pay for your family’s gym membership each year–and how much more it is if you also pay to use a pool. When you own a pool, it becomes a great outlet for exercise. There’s lap swimming, water aerobics, pool sports, water jogging and even playing with the kids in the pool burns calories. Those memberships you have add up over time.

Save Money on Events

Stop paying to have parties at venues. When you own a pool, you have the perfect party venue right in your backyard. Think about the possibilities: birthday parties, graduation parties, wedding parties, baby showers, family reunions. They can all be done at your pool!

In addition to saving money, swimming pools also have these advantages

A Pool Can Increase the Value of Your Home

It’s likely you can recoup the cost when you sell your home. Swimming pools often increase the value of your home by at least 7% (and possibly more if you live in a neighborhood where most homes have pools or it’s a warmer climate).

You Can’t Put a Dollar Value on the Fun, Relaxation and Memories

Let’s face it: Pools are just plain fun. But, they go beyond just that. Swimming pools create a lifetime of memories. They create a place for families and friends to come together. You get watch your children or grandchildren learn how to swim. You get to experience so many of life’s precious moments by your pool. And that is something that you can’t put a dollar figure on.
