Swimming pools

  • There are a few pools in our area that the owners hire out by the hour, or to swim schools. I've always assumed they do this to cover the cost of keeping the pool running. But these tend to be indoor pools. You could install a summer house over it?
  • Have to admit, I’d love a swimming pool, I do swim regularly though so not as a status symbol!

    It’s so expensive it’s a ‘if I win the lottery’ dream, but as an ex-gambler I don’t play the lottery so need another type of mystery windfall to get my pool!

    I'd like to see it turned into a nature pond.
    Life is about give and take, if you can't give why should you take?
  • I would love to have a pool but england really doesn’t have the weather for it.
