How to get the best use out of your swimming pool during spring

As the weather warms up and the days grow longer, spring is the perfect time to bring your pool back to life!

We know you’re looking forward to a summer of entertaining ahead & ready to enjoy a few quiet dips, so a little sping maintenance attention can make a big difference!

As the cold and harshness of the Melbourne winter begins to fade, spring is the best time to start using your pool again. It’s the spot for relaxation, fun and fitness for the whole family to enjoy before the summer heat really kicks in. Here are some useful tips to get the best use out of your swimming pool during spring and making the most of the spring Vitamin D.

Make sure you do a maintenance and safety check

Chances are it’s been a few months since you last used the pool, so before diving in, give your pool a thorough “spring” clean.

  • Remove any debris that may have built up over winter.
  • Check the water level and top it up if needed.
  • Test all the chemical levels and adjust them to maintain safe swimming conditions.

It’s also important to inspect your pool equipment such as pumps, filters, and heaters to ensure they’re in good working condition. Check in with the team at Exotic Pools if you need some assistance.

 

Spring Ready

Time for some new pool features

Melbourne in spring can be super unpredictable, with the weather likely to still be a little on the cool side. The addition of a pool heater or blanket will help maintain a comfortable water temperature, allowing you to swim more often. Even a few degrees warmer can make a big difference in how enjoyable your pool feels during early spring. You may find you’ll be using it even more!!

 

Adding some LED lights can create a stunning atmosphere for evening swims, while water features like fountains or jets can make your pool more enjoyable. Consider adding pool toys, floating loungers or even a basketball hoop or goal netting for fun family activities.

Liven up the area around your pool

While the kids may find the pool inviting (they don’t seem to feel the cold like us!), you might not be ready to hop in just yet. If you’re lingering around the pool edge, make it a nice relaxing space to enjoy. Add some comfy outdoor furniture, umbrellas for shade and even a barbecue for the weekends. Spring in Melbourne is all about enjoying the outdoors, so creating a cosy poolside area might see you spending more time out in the open.
