By Carmella Watts


Some people need some guidance when putting their pools together with some great pool gear for a more enjoyable experience for their kids. There are so many things available nowadays to enhance the swimming experience for children. However, there are some important things to take into consideration when deciding what to choose.

Children often want things that they can play with in their swimming pools. They often get bored quite easily. There are many ideas out there to make a swimming experience a little bit more enjoyable. A water fountain is a great feature to add to just about any swimming area, and they come in so many different shapes and sizes.

If you have a good shallow end, then a fountain that sprays down on you that the kids can run through might be a good option. However, if it is only one depth, the height of the fountain will not be that much above the water level. You will also have to make sure that the ground is not too slippery, so maybe some adhesive grip tapes would be a good option.

Relaxation is what the outdoor area is all about, and so many people like the idea of having a big armchair in the middle of their pools. Along with this accessory you could add a nice glass of something cold and a good book. Or, maybe you would prefer to just lie back and float around the beautiful water on a hot sunny day. In this case, a flat Lilo would be ideal. There are so many options available.

A bar nearby the swimming area is another idea, and one that could really impress your guests this summer. Have it fully stocked with whichever cold refreshments you prefer, and invite your friends for a big party. When swimming, you won't even need to go into the house to get a drink, or a refill. You can just quickly get out, fill it up, and then get back in, without having to dry off and make a run for it.

Make sure you set the mood with the right lighting for your atmosphere. You could choose blue, red or just the nice glow of natural light. The lighting of swimming pools really sets the atmosphere for a party, and some color changing lights are perfect for different events.

Good fencing is a prerequisite for any pool to make sure kids aren't able to get in without parent supervision, or until they are old enough to be on their own. Swimming pools should also not have areas that are too slippery, because children love to run and jump, or chase each other. There are many products out that that can be used to help achieve non-slip surfaces.

Regardless of the pool gear that you select for fun this summer, ensure that you protect yourself from the sun. Sunscreen must be used to prevent sunburn. You could also ensure that you wear a shirt when you are not in the water, and perhaps a hat and sunglasses as well.
