It is almost summer, and more and more people are looking for various ways to beat the extreme heat. People see this as the perfect time to go away to some place cooler or to one that has pristine beaches. Others stay in the safety of their air conditioned homes while slurping cold dessert favorites such as fruit shakes. Others choose to enjoy in fun fiberglass pools and party with peers.
This thing is more or less a repository filled to the brim with water. People use them to wade in and cool themselves. They can be used by everyone, but there are others that are only intended for use by only a certain number of people. They can be as small as those little inflatable ones that are available in supermarket or can be as big as the perimeter of a huge infrastructure such as an Olympic sized pool.
During the olden times, the earliest ones were used as public baths. The earliest recorded one was found in Pakistan. The people have dug up a part of the soil and lined all sides with bricks that are glued up by tar. They were also used for nautical and military training in ancient Greece and Rome.
The pools that closely resembled the ones everyone is familiar with started in Britain during the nineteenth century. During these times cases of drowning at a nearby river reached an all time high. The statistics alarmed local officials so they thought of having an enclosed facility where people can swim safely. Since the container had a fixed depth, cases of drowning were successfully diminished.
They also come in different kinds. Public ones are generally the largest aside from that used for competition. Anyone can come and use them in exchange for a fixed fee. Private types are typically found in clubhouses and are on a for members only basis.
Children or kiddie kinds most often do not exceed four feet. They are meant for use by children who might drown in a very deep one meant for adults. Exercise pools feature a raging current where people can practice swimming in lieu of seas, rivers, and oceans.
There are also those that are filled with salt water. These are aptly called ocean pools and are usually found facing the sea. There are those that never seem to have a border, and these are known as infinity types. They are usually found in luxurious resorts and hotel towers.
Pools are also categorized according to the materials used. Concrete ones are the most common classification. They do not have standardized sizes and can be as deep and as wide as you want them to be. This makes it the favorite practice areas for dive enthusiasts.
The latest ones are from fiberglass manufacturers. They are made ahead, following a unique design made by the owner himself. Once the pool is assembled, it is installed in a previously dug part of the earth. In no more than three days, you can have your own pool ready and just in time for a pool party.
