If you love swimming and if water is your element, why not get a swimming pool for your home? Choosing between an outdoor, which is more traditional, and an indoor one is easy: if you have a warm climate, you can go for the first option and if not, an indoor pool is your choice. Do you know what’s cool about an indoor swimming pool? You can use it at any time and in all weathers! Let’s find out a bit more about such pools.
Pros Of Indoor Pools
Year-round use. If you’re going to spend the money on a pool, and you don’t live in a warmer climate, you’ll get more from your investment if you can use the pool 12 months of the year. In fact, if you calculate your cost per month the pool is available for use, the indoor pool may start to look like a good deal.
Less maintenance. If you have an indoor pool, it’s a whole lot easier to keep leaves and insects out of it, eliminating the need to skim this stuff from its surface. But that’s not all—an indoor pool also prevents algae growth, which enters your pool clinging to other plant material. Swimmers also won’t track grass and sand into the water. You won’t even have that suntan lotion slick that tends to build up on the surface of outdoor pools.
Protection from sunburn. When your pool is indoors, you can forget worrying about sunscreen, shade, and whether the kiddos (or you) will be scorched by the sun or wind.
Safety. An outdoor pool is just so tempting, and a determined trespasser can get over almost any fence or enclosure you build outside.
Privacy. With an indoor pool, you have as much privacy as you want, anytime you swim.

Cons Of Indoor Pools
Humidity. Pools lose a lot of moisture into the air, even if you cover them when not in use. Outside, that’s no big deal. Indoors, it can be a real problem. You need special equipment to deal with the humidity of an indoor pool.

Where To Build An Indoor Pool?
Build your swimming pool inside your house or inside a special pool house, so in summer when it’s warm, you’ll be able to open the doors and windows (choose sliding ones to be able to do it) and feel like you are outside. Adapt the swimming pool according to the size and shape of the space – it can be long and narrow, for example. Add a jacuzzi, cool plants and luxurious soaps – and your home spa is ready!
