I’ve never had much of an interest in installing a swimming pool on my property for some reason. I know most people crazy at the thought of being able to take a dip but for me there are so many negatives associated with getting one that i feel it not worth the effort.

First off you need to get the pool built and that’s going to cost you a huge amount of cash. I guess I’ve just never been one for swimming so I’d rather spend that rather large chunk of change on something else, a motorbike perhaps, or maybe an new home entertainment system.

Then of course there is the cost of upkeep if you are not going to do it our self. You’ll need someone to clean your pool and use all those nasty chemicals to ensure the water isn’t a harbor for dangerous bacteria, unless of course you are willing to do all these things yourself. Plus, you are going to have to shell out for all the other extras that go along with having a pool with all those companies trying to sell you things you could probably do without such as automatic swimming pool covers, which I admit are pretty cool but I mean come on, I’ve got better things to spend my hard earned cash on.

These things definitely put me off getting a pool in the yard but perhaps the absolute biggest problem I have with them is the amount of resources that gets used in the building and maintaining of these things. The concrete that gets used to make it in the first place isn’t exactly environmentally friendly and then you have the huge amounts of water that you are literally pouring down the drain. Can’t we think of better ways to spend our resources when you could just use the swimming pool in town or take a trip to the beach.
