Having a Pool of Your Own by Journey L.

In Hawaii we go to this wonderful place that all families go. Parents go directly from breakfast to a beach chair by a pool to watch their children swim with cousins. One of them swims to get fit, and the other swims whenever he is stressed out. The pool helps us enjoy family time. Having a pool is a good thing for adults to get for their family.

Having a swimming pool is good for spending time as a family. It lets kids get off their devices and lets them play outside. It is also good to have a pool because you can have a pool party with family members you haven't seen in a long time. It also lets people enjoy each other outside instead of staying in the house all day because itʻs good to be out of the house.

Besides having family time it gives you a workout. Swimming in a swimming pool for a long time consistently can give you good cardio. It will also let you stay home to get a workout instead of always going to the gym. It is also good for your aerobic workout.

Another reason is swimming in a pool makes people less stressed out. “If you are having a bad day and you jump into a pool and swim it will change your mood change” (Logan). When itʻs a hot day and you are bored in your house you can always jump in the pool to cool off.     

Yes, pools are expensive to buy to get a workout. However, itʻs better than needing to pay and drive to the gym. Swimming in a pool is better for your cardio than the gym.  But it dosenʻt mean stop going to the gym to get fit. This is also true for pools.

If people do not get a pool they will miss out on things like family time. People will also miss an opportunity to get fit. It can also be an opportunity for people to have time away from stress. But you can still go to the gym and workout. That is why it's good for people to get pools for their homes.
