How to Make Your Pool Eco-Friendly

With an endless summer around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about your pool and how you can make it a focal point of your backyard. The good news is that keeping your pool warm and comfortable throughout the year doesn’t have to be expensive – it can also be environmentally friendly.

Unlike traditional concrete pools, the use of a range of innovative products can greatly reduce your energy bill and environmental impact. The key is choosing the right products for your needs and integrating them into the design of the pool itself. Using these products, you can easily achieve an aesthetic finish that will set your backyard apart from the rest.

Swimming pools are often a focal point for outdoor living and socialising. They can provide a great space for kids to play and adults to relax and unwind, but it’s important to keep these areas safe. There are many simple measures that can be taken to protect your family from the dangers of swimming in unprotected pools, including ensuring there is proper water depth and a lifeguard on duty.

Every year, Australians visit public aquatic centres to swim, exercise and enjoy leisure time. There are currently 2,113 public pools nationally, equivalent to one facility for every 178,960 people in NSW and Victoria. The western suburbs are particularly underserved, with only one pool per 100,000 residents. This is despite the fact that these areas are home to many public and private schools, which teach thousands of children how to swim each year.

In addition, swimming pools have a significant impact on the environment – they require large amounts of water and electricity to maintain their temperature. With the rising costs of energy and the threat of climate change, it’s more important than ever to consider the ecological impact of your pool.

A sdy pool is a natural swimming hole formed by waves on the surf coast that fills with seawater and is partially covered by sand when the tide recedes. These pools are often surrounded by rocks or coral and offer a sheltered, safe swimming experience. Across Australia, ocean pools are becoming increasingly popular as a place to swim and relax.

The first ocean pools were built in Sydney in the late 19th century by men’s and women’s swimming clubs and local councils to give recreational swimmers a safe place to practice their strokes away from the dangerous waves and potential shark attacks. The city now has more ocean pools than any other in the world, with Cape Town coming in a close second with 19. Gary Nunn takes a look at how these iconic swim spots came about and why it is so important to protect them.
