[quote=Anonymous][quote]We have a pool and so multiple of our neighbors (MoCo) and we love it. Our children are 6 and 4 yrs old and both knew how to swim within the first year of owning the pool. If you buy a house with the pool, the previous owners should already had a private fence around it. If not, the fence is required by most insurance companies. The chemicals aren't that expensive except for opening/closing the pool. We pay someone to open/close it and it cost about $500. There is obviously the cost if something breaks, but that's the case with home ownership. Most of our friends belong to a neighborhood pool and I do not envy the charge as well as packing up to/from the pool. I am able to go to the pool for an hour or half or 5 min to cool off. It's my choice and I don't have to drag the entire house with me. [/quote] Ditto and my kids are the same ages. My kids go to bed so easily and sleep so well if they go swimming for an hour right before dinner. There is no way that I would have time to pack them up and go to the neighborhood pool unless I lived right across the street. The chlorine levels need to be much, much higher in public pools. You can swim everyday in your home pool without the chemicals being as harsh. We can also heat ours which would be pricey to do often but is nice as it gets cooler. [/quote]
