Keeping the pool looking good in winter

About Me

I like to swim all year round. Even when the water is a little cool it helps me to wake up and keeps me mentally focused. It's harder to keep the pool looking good in winter, as there is so much stuff falling in the pool from the trees and plants during storms, and the rain can make the pool overflow. It takes extra effort to keep the pool healthy and clean, but it's worth it to be able to swim in my own backyard all day. This blog is all about winter swimming pool care tips so that you can enjoy your pool year round.
