The construction of an indoor in ground swimming pool gives you the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of healthful swimming exercise year-round. Also, having an indoor pool turns your backyard into a private retreat reminiscent of a luxury hotel. Indoor swimming pools also add more value to your home than they typically cost to have constructed.
When you think of the large price tag that comes with a swimming pool, it's a shame when you can only use them a few months of the year. But installing an in ground indoor swimming pool extends the swimming season to year round proportions.
Here are a few things to consider if you want an indoor in ground swimming pool:
Do you have an area of your home in which you could install an in ground pool? If you don't, you can certainly have an extension or enclosure built to house a swimming pool.
If your home has an outdoor in-ground swimming pool, speak with a contractor. You might be able to have a permanent pool enclosure constructed around it. The structure could have a retractable roof or sides. With retractable sides you can enjoy the outside while you're swimming.
Regardless of the area of the country in which you live even in the coldest parts of it, you will still be able to reap the health benefits of swimming year-round. The indoor pool also gives you an oasis and a way to enjoy the swimming pool even when the wind is howling and the snow is falling. On those days when the sun is beating down, it might be too hot to lounge around an outdoor pool deck but with an indoor swimming pool, you don't have to worry about that.
Work with building authorities to determine the building ordinances as they relate to indoor swimming pools. While it's a given that your pool contractor will know to do this, make certain he or she checks to see that the floor is strong enough to support the weight of a swimming pool.
An indoor swimming pool will generate humidity so you will want to look into a dehumidifier to address the issues. Humidity can lead to wood rot and the formation of mold.
If you decide to install an indoor swimming pool, it will not be a decision you will regret when you're swimming year round.
