Article 7 Reasons Why a Backyard Pool is Better than a Beach Vacation By Probuilt Staff April 03, 2023

“Let’s go to the beach!” Ahhhh…that declaration will stir the enthusiasm in almost any avid beachcomber. You can almost hear the relaxing sounds of the waves rolling along the shore, and you can probably feel your toes digging into the sand. Such a luxurious feeling, right? But, getting to the beach and being at the beach are two different things.

First of all, you have to make your vacation plans. Next, you have to pack all your gear. Then, you either have to get in the car or head to the airport to reach your destination. There can be so many stumbling blocks along the way, too: a flat tire, bad weather, long lines at the airport, layovers, canceled flights….the whole nine yards. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a beach-like vacation whenever you wanted without all that hassle? Well, if you own a backyard pool from Probuilt Pool & Patio, a relaxing and memorable staycation experience awaits you.

7 Reasons Why a Backyard Pool Beats Going to the Beach

  1. You don’t have to drive or fly to get there. Forget about the traffic, roadside pit stops, screaming and hungry kids in the car, frustrated people at airports, and missed flights. When you have your own pool, you only have to travel the distance from your back door to the water’s edge.
  2. You can cool off so much faster. Is it a hot day outside? Do you want to cool off in an instant? Well, with a backyard pool, you can. However, if the beach is on your mind, you have to pack, travel, get to the hotel, and then finally head to the beach…provided you are not too exhausted by the time you get there.
  3. You can swim on a moment’s notice. With a backyard pool, you don’t have to worry about the crowds. If it’s late on a weekend night or early on a Tuesday morning, the pool is all yours! You make the rules!
  4. You can forget about sharks, jellyfish, and other formidable sea creatures. Unless you live in Florida where there is the potential for a gator or two, you don’t have to think about sea creatures invading your swimming pool. If anything, you may encounter a few stray twigs and debris or a frog or two, but that’s about it.
  5. You won’t be swept out into the ocean. Forget about those dangerous undertows. With a swimming pool, you are safe and sound within the parameters of your pool. You will have no fear of being swept away and lost forever.
  6. You won’t have to worry about the kids. It can be a challenge to keep track of your kids when you are all at the beach. They could run off into the crowd or into the water without you even knowing about it. When you are all sitting around the backyard pool, you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your kids are safe at play. In fact, in many ways, it is just safer to be at the pool than at the beach.
  7. You won’t get sand, dust, or dirt in your snacks. This is an important factor to note. Nothing ruins an outdoor picnic more than sand in your snacks or dirt in your dessert. When your kitchen is within arm’s reach, you know your food will be well protected and ready to eat without worry of non-edible things getting into it!
