Building A Great Inground Swimming Pool for Your Kids

Everyone’s gearing up for the summer, and an inground swimming pool is a great way to make your yard the go-to hot spot for your kids and their friends. Naturally, you need a great space, good foundations and a solid build, but there’s plenty more to consider when making a great pool that your kids can enjoy. Get the Height Right You want a pool that your kids can stand in, so we recommend that you build it with them in mind. An extensive shallow end ensures they can put their feet on the bottom and gradually gain the confidence to head toward the deep end.

HOT TUB SAFETY TIPS

Hot tub time means family time – but there are some safety tips you must follow. Infants and toddlers should not be permitted in a hot tub at all as babies’ thin skin makes them more susceptible to overheating. Also, since little ones have very little control over bodily functions, spas become unsanitary almost instantly when “accidents” happen. No young child should be allowed in a hot tub until they can stand on the bottom and have their head remain completely out of the water. Children who are big enough to be in a hot tub should not use it for more than five minutes at a time, especially at the maximum temperature of 104 degrees. Dropping the spa temperature to 98 degrees would allow for longer soaks – but never more than 15 minutes at a time. It is also recommended that young children avoid full body immersion, choosing…
