Top 10 of the Pool & Spa News Top 50 for 2018

Top 10 Staff Management
In assessing this category, judges look at the average tenure among a company’s staff, along with its level of training and education, as seen in its in-house training regimens, continuing education, degrees and certifications. Those below received the highest scores on this criterion. They are listed in alphabetical order, as multiple companies often received the same score.

Top 50 Industry Involvement
For this category, builders listed the business associations to which they belong, both inside and outside the industry. On the pool/spa-industry side, the Top 50 has always shown a strong presence in the main associations and buying groups. Outside the industry, the vast majority belong to their local Chambers of Commerce, Better Business Bureaus and home building organizations. Now, it appears more of these companies are joining related associations, such as the American Concrete Institute, American Shotcrete Association and various local and national landscape organizations.

 

4 Reasons You Need to Install a Swimming Pool in Your Yard Right Now

Swimming Lifestyle

Texas residents know how hot it can get in the summertime, and this alone is a great reason to install a swimming pool in your yard. However, there are other ways you can benefit from diving into a pool that is only steps away from your back door, and here are some of them.

Swimming pools provide great means of exercise
Not only is swimming really fun, but it’s great exercise too. For example, swimming is a great cardiovascular exercise because you are pushing against the water’s resistance when you move. The water’s resistance is over 10 times that of the air, so you’re really getting a workout in. Swimming also aids in increased flexibility, endurance building, and weight loss.

Swimming is a social activity
If you want some more socialization in your life, you should definitely get a swimming pool. All your family, friends, and neighbors are going to want to take a dip in your pool on a hot day. You can play water games and hang out together all while catching some sun.

Swimming offers stress relief
One thing many don’t think about when it comes to the benefits of swimming pools is that they provide owners with stress relief. Slipping into the water can make all the worry of the day disappear, similarly to spas. It’s serine, and it’s quiet. This stress relief would be hard to achieve at a public pool with kids running around everywhere. A pool in your backyard makes this form of stress relief much more accessible.

You have a vacation in your backyard
When it comes time for spring break or summer vacation, it’s tempting to hop on an airplane and travel somewhere with warm sun and sandy beaches. When you own a pool in Florida, that oasis is right in your own yard. You don’t have to travel anywhere to be able to relax in the sun and dip your toes in the water on your vacation.

Stop taking trips to the public pool or the beach when you can have a swimming pool right at home. You know it’s clean and safe when it’s in the privacy of your own yard, and who doesn’t love that?
