Random Thoughts

You peek from your window, watching as your neighbor struggles with his lawn. Every blade must be carefully cut; every weed must be quickly plucked. Sticks and leaves are tossed away, while debris is cursed and collected. You're baffled by this devotion until you see rogue clippings go floating into his in-ground pool. They float, mocking, and make him wince. He'll have to scoop them out (again). It's another minute wasted. You think perhaps that's one minute too much. And that is why above ground pools appeal to you and your family: they offer all the relief and none of the worry.

You don't have the time, or the desire, for maintenance. You have no need to make cleaning an obsession. With above ground pools, you won't have to. Each provides the reward of water and nothing more.

Because in-ground options, for all their grandeur, require patience. They must be constantly protected; their basins scrubbed and their filters forever checked. Every leaf is a potential threat to the chlorine and must be eradicated. And, with access laid so conveniently against the earth, the neighborhood pets will consider it a victory to splash within: they will have a new playground to explore.

But above ground pools remove that concern. They are kept high enough to resist the majority of debris, and animals will find them too difficult to reach. And they even offer the ease of repairs. All potential leaks and cracks can be seen, located with a glance. Their in-ground alternatives will force costly examinations instead. And, you don't need that.

Instead you need only the joys of water. You want to swim, not fret, and above ground pools will allow that. Don't struggle through your summer. Instead let yourself simply relax.
