The dreaded summer is here again! You have two choices – stay holed up inside your home or beat the heat by splashing in your new fibreglass pool. We think we know your choice. After all, wallowing in a sparkling pool is one of the best ways to tackle prickly heat that is infamous for giving us Australians a sunburn. Moreover, when you have invested in a fibreglass pool, why not make the most of it? In this blog, we have rounded up our top ideas for pool activities you can enjoy this summer. You’re welcome!
Say Yes To Pool Fitness
If you are a fitness enthusiast, likely, you have already tried working out in the pool. If not, no matter your fitness levels, swimming is for everybody. From giving your muscles a makeover to de-stressing your mind, the benefits that come with swimming are endless and did you know it also helps burn calories? That’s right. Just one hour of swimming in your fibreglass pool can burn almost as many calories as running. With running, you still experience some aches and pains in your bones and joints. But, with swimming, you can burn calories without the worries of joint pains.

Spend Time With Family
Remember how we are always complaining we don’t get enough time to bond with our family? We are too busy juggling work and other responsibilities that it’s easy for the ‘fun’ to take a backseat. Not when you have a fibreglass pool. Having a pool in your backyard gives you the golden opportunity to spend time with your family like never before. Start by indulging in a relaxing swim session with your family over the weekends. Keep a ‘no phone’ policy, so you aren’t tempted to check the notifications demanding your attention. Before you know it, you will start looking forward to spending quality time with your family more than ever.

Lose Yourself In A Good Book
We all have that one book we want to finish so badly but simply can’t find the time for it. Sounds familiar? You’re in luck if you have a fibreglass pool in your backyard. Reading by the poolside can offer you the quiet and solitude you need to immerse yourself in your novel. The sight of blue waters is enough to calm your nerves and fill you with happy emotions. Not to mention, the soothing sound of the pool water can fill you with more serenity and calmness. If you wish, you can throw an inflatable toy into the pool to read as you float gently on the pool water. If you decide to do that, ensure you take along a waterproof cover for your gadget, so it doesn’t get splashed with water.
Go Clickety-click For Social Media
When you own a fibreglass pool, you know it will offer the best backdrop for all your selfies, right? The blue of the waters against the green of the garden landscape makes for a visually-appealing background. Click numerous pictures to your heart’s content and post it on your Facebook and Instagram handles. When you have a pool, why not flaunt it? Selfies are not all. If you want to tap into the photographer in you, go for artistic clicks like catching the sun’s reflection in the pool water, or dip your toes in the pool water with a catchy caption. The ideas are never-ending.
Movie Night by The Pool
Catching a movie in a theatre is so ‘ordinary’. How about you bring the theatre home by turning your poolside into one? Trust us, you are going to love spending time with your friends and family while watching your favourite movie and engaging in fun banter. How about a theme for the movie night? Get the decoration on point to pump up your guests. Make sure you are well stocked up on snacks and goodies like chips, nachos, pretzels, popcorn and more. Remember to get floating trays, so you or your guests don’t have to go in and out of the water frequently to get snacks. That can be a real bummer!
Plan A Pool Party
When you have a fibreglass pool, you can easily score brownie points with your friends because you can call them for pool parties at your place. Whether you have a tropical theme in mind or a beach theme, all pool parties are fun. Make sure you have pool games planned to entertain your guests. From pool volleyball to water polo, there are innumerable games that everyone can participate in. Think of the menu in advance, so there are no last-minute hassles. Get some funky inflatable toys and have enough seating arrangements planned to accommodate your guests.
Teach Your Kids Swimming
Swimming is a life-saving skill that’s advantageous to know. The best age to teach kids swimming is when they are young. At an early age, kids don’t have any fears and are more willing to try new things. Having a fibreglass pool in your backyard allows you to teach your kids how to swim when it’s convenient for all. They are more likely to learn at the comfort of their home from their parents rather than trusting a complete stranger. Knowing your kids can swim will also give you peace of mind that they are capable of taking care of themselves.
