Blonde Girl On The Towel Strips Her Bikini And Sunbathing At The Swimming Pool

Private pools are increasingly a feature of homes in greater latitudes. For example, in London many larger homes are now refurbished with indoor pools, usually in the basement or in a conservatory. In some European cities, including Munich, it is relatively common for people living in older properties to convert existing internal motorcar garages into indoor pool areas.
An above-ground pool
Construction methods for private pools vary greatly. The main types of in-ground pools are concrete, vinyl liner, and fiberglass. The innovation of a composite construction of fibreglass, with an epoxy coating and porcelain ceramic tile has led to the Pre-Form, Composite type being preferred as a new type with significant advantages. The Pre-Form Composite type can be installed in sections therefore it has great advantages when looking to construct swimming pools in areas where access is of a concern. Above-ground pools (also called "on-ground pools") are usually cheaper to build. They are especially popular in places where ground freezing makes excavation difficult and threatens damage to the pool structure. Inexpensive temporary PVC pools can be bought in supermarkets and taken down after summer. They are used mostly outdoors in yards, are typically shallow, and often their sides are inflated with air to stay rigid. When finished, the water and air can be let out and this type of pool can be folded up for convenient storage. They are regarded in the swimming pool industry as "splasher" pools intended for cooling off and amusing toddlers and children, not for swimming.
