Swimming is regarded as one of the most organized activity
that goes back to ancient period. During the ancient period the Egyptians were
probably the first to invent this activity. Later this activity was chosen by Greece. In the
modern era it is regarded as a good exercise that benefits the body as well as
the mind. It is a healthy activity that can be continued for a life time. Just
relax and swim with a very low effort. Let your mind wander focusing on nothing
but the rhythm of your stroke. It benefits your heart and lungs as well. But
for a healthy swim you need a healthy swimming pool.
A swimming pool, a swimming bath, a wading pool, a paddling
pool or simply a pool is a container filled with water intended for swimming or
water based recreation. The size and shape of any of the pools vary according
to the taste of its owner. It requires both money and time for their
construction. The very important factor while constructing them is pH balance –
which has to be at an acceptable rate and has to be done daily. Other factors
that govern their condition are the frequency of their use and weather
condition outside
A pool meant for public use is called a public pool where as
if it is used exclusively by a few people or by an individual family it is
called a private pool. San Alfonso Del Mar seawater pool in Algarroro, Chile
is the largest. The largest wave pool is in West Edmonton Mall and the largest
indoor pool is at the Neutral Buoyancy Lab in the Sony Carter Training Facility
at NASA JSC in Houston.
Clean, clear and sparkling water is the secret of a swimming pool. When it gets really not a day, swimming in a clean, clear and sparkling
pool can be a real life. It not only reflects your taste but your health is
safe-guarded too. An improperly cared pool becomes a real nightmare. Sore eyes,
rashes, ear infection are the very common hazards we face due to unclean and
uncared pool. Proper filtration of water, maintaining the pH balance and
avoiding the algae helps to keep the pool healthy. It is wisely said –
Prevention is better than cure, so let us take care of the pool and in return
it will take care of us.
