Picking and Positioning Quality Fiberglass Pools for Your Perth Home


There are many potential uses for fiberglass pools in every home. They can provide somewhere to cool off during the hot summer months, they can provide a convenient place to exercise for the whole family, and they can offer a play area for kids and adults. Choose the type, including shape and dimensions, of pool that best suits your needs and your preferences and then choose a finish and colour that you like. Choosing A Position Ideally, your pool should be situated out of the wind, although it is possible to erect hedges and other windbreaks if you must situate a pool in a windy position. Most pools are installed at the rear of the property, and you should try to choose an area that is free from the shade of buildings and trees. Overhanging trees can also cause problems with fallen leaves and other debris entering the pool.

Useful and Beautiful: Why Perth’s Householders Choose Swimming Pools


Perth is the sunniest state capital in Australia, enjoying an average of 3,000 hours of sunshine every year. It's no wonder that there are quite a few plunge pools across Perth. Pool-owners can enjoy a cool, revitalising dip after a day's work, and be the envy of their pool-less friends. There is a swimming pool to suit all properties, too. Plunge Pools Plunge pools are small, just a few metres across, so are ideal for more compact gardens. They are named for their resemblance to natural plunge pools, deep eroded pools are sometimes found at the feet of waterfalls. It's a romantic ideal to bathe in one of these, but you can experience the same refreshing submergence in an artificial backyard plunge pool.

Perth Swimming Pools: Building the Ideal Contemporary Aussie Backyard


Throughout the years, a lot has changed in the way residential properties Down Under are designed and built. Homes constructed in the 1980s, for instance, have a somewhat different look from those built in succeeding decades. In terms of design and function, the backyard has undergone a notable transformation. Experts have observed that in general, backyards in Western Australia these days are much smaller, easier to maintain, and more modern in appearance. So-called designer backyards now typically range in size from 50-100 metres (as opposed to 150 metres in earlier years), have much smaller gardens, and sport neutral but sophisticated colour schemes. That being said, you need not sacrifice child’s play or outdoor recreation even if you have rather limited backyard space.

Perth Swimming Pools Help People Under Stress Put ‘Mind Over Matter’


For the longest time, swimming has been associated with physical and mental health benefits. When you’re not busy doing laps to lose weight, you can bask under the sun while lying on your pool air mattress without a care in the world. Lounging in the pool can’t solve all your problems, but it does refresh your mind and helps you face things with a clearer perspective. Scientific data regarding the psychological benefits of swimming may be scarce, but you need only look at related theories to arrive at a logical conjecture. For one, you need total body coordination and utter focus to swim even a single lap in good form, and this means you will have to take your mind off other things.

Swimming in a Perth Lap Pool Helps Combat the Health Effects of Ageing


"Bodily functions gradually deteriorate with ageing, but this is aggravated by dormancy. Diabetes is just one of the many ailments the elderly may develop with their sedentary lifestyle. Thus, health experts have always emphasised the importance of remaining active. Dr. Paul Gardiner, head of the Queensland study, said, “Reducing sedentary behaviour may be a feasible and practical way for older adults to improve their health and may be particularly important for those whose health or physical functioning limits their participation in moderate-intensity physical activity.” With ageing comes a decrease in muscle mass, bone strength, and density, along with the breakdown of cartilage lining the joints. These changes make high-impact exercises such as walking and jogging more painful. Swimming, a less strenuous exercise, is a highly recommended alternative by health experts. Here are some of the health benefits seniors can enjoy with routine swimming in a Perth lap pool.

Perth Swimming Pools for Sale: An Effective Medium for Weight Loss


Weight issues keep throwing new problems, while the weight loss industry keeps throwing new solutions. Yet, the preconception of weight loss is neutralising all efforts in creating a remedy. This refers to the ""eat less, exercise more"" doctrine, which sounds sensible on paper, but is identified by obesity experts as being effective mostly for short-term weight loss. On top of that, past studies supporting this doctrine generally failed to consider the biological functions of the human body. In short, there are far worse offenders lurking in your cells than a tub of ice cream and a large bag of potato chips—but this doesn't mean exercise is pointless. Quality over quantity.

Perth Pool Companies Help in Western Australia's Fight Against Obesity


According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, three in five Australian adults are either overweight or obese. What comes next may convince them to change their lifestyle. Following a recent Canadian study showing how obesity shaves years off a person's life, Professor Stephen Colaguiri at the Boden Institute of Obesity, Nutrition, Exercise, & Eating Disorders conducted a follow-up study involving Australians. The findings reinforce the need to cut on calories in as early as one’s childhood.

Personal Lap Pools for Perth Residents Allow More Active Lifestyles


Swimming is a great way to refresh the body during periods of extreme heat, and we know all too well there are many such periods in Australia. There is more to swimming, however, than simply cooling off the body or helping bathers relax. With enough effort, swimming makes for a great exercise, and can help regular swimmers develop their bodies and achieve desired fitness levels.

Pool Companies in Perth Can Help Create Unique Swimming Experiences


Although having such an extraordinary pool for your own backyard is out of the question, you can still have your very own backyard oasis in your own home for the entire family to enjoy – your little bit of paradise! Why stick to basic coloured and shaped pools and when you can have a pool that is expertly designed, shaped and far more interesting to dive into? If you are looking for exciting new pool shapes and modern colours and finishes, get in touch with fibreglass pool companies in Perth. Guardian Pools, for instance, has an extensive catalogue and proven design expertise, owing to its long history in the fibreglass pool business. When contemplating a pool for your backyard, keep in mind that you’ll have to work with the limited outdoor space afforded to you. Recreational pools with creative shapes vary in depth and size, pre-fabricated fibreglass pools have the advantage that you can see the exact dimensions in the flesh prior to installation, leaving no hidden surprises.

Established Perth Pool Companies Take Dream Vacation Experiences Home


Perth’s numerous resorts and hotels all boast luxurious pools that are extremely popular with tourists. Locals, however, do not need to be tourists in their own country to experience the glamour of swimming in a fancy pool if they have one installed right in their own backyard. Homeowners interested in having their own stylish pool installed should seek creative Perth pool companies that have an extensive catalogue of designer pools in a range of great shapes, colours and finishes. Those looking for pools that sport elegant designs and functional shapes should consider purchasing fibreglass pools. Unlike concrete pools, which are built from scratch into the ground or on a raised location, pools made from fibreglass are factory built and only require careful installation which can be completed quickly. Additionally, fibreglass pools are already outfitted with features such as raised steps and spa benches—versatile features that still need to be built into concrete pools.

Is Your Pool Summer Ready? Preparing Perth Swimming Pools for Summer


When it comes to fencing safety standards, the law asserts that this structure should be permanent and must be at least 1.2 metres above ground level to prevent children below five years old from climbing over it. Aside from its fencing, you must also check on the quality of your pool’s water, regular testing of the pool water chemical levels and maintenance of your swimming pool and equipment is a must and will equate to a trouble free swimming season.

Lose That Tummy: Keeping Those Fats Away With a Lap Pool in Perth


If you’ve been watching your weight, you might already have been doing measures, drastic or not, to maintain it. If you’re not into sweating yourself too much with exercises such as jogging, then swimming in a lap pool in Perth is your next best bet. Not only will you paddle into the cooling water, you can also lose some weight along the way and you can do it as a workout if you’re really serious about keeping yourself fit. That does not mean you’ll just swim around for minutes, however. Like every other exercise, you also have to do it properly by timing yourself: Use a clock or a watch to time how long it takes you to complete one lap of the pool at your normal speed with your favorite swimming stroke. Repeat with all the strokes you know how to do. You may find that you swim the freestyle the fastest, followed by the back, breast and side stroke.
