Grandparents and Grandkids: How Oasis Pool Enclosures Offer Year-Round Fun and Safety

A popular activity for both grandparents and grandkids is swimming. In the United States, there are about 10.7 million residential swimming pools, and having a pool is a big attraction for grandkids of all ages. Swimming is the fourth most popular sport or activity. But winter months and bad weather can put a damper on the poolside fun. Unfortunately, no matter how good grandma’s cookies may be, no pool time is one less reason that grandkids want to visit.

Luckily, there’s a solution to this problem: pool enclosures. The Oasis Pool Enclosure offers a permanent structure to surround your swimming pool, providing a number of benefits. The main benefit is that having an enclosed pool means you can invite your grandchildren to come for a swim any time of the year.

Pool enclosures not only provide year-round access to the pool, but they also add an extra layer of safety for children. As grandparents, you want to be sure your grandchildren don’t go into the pool area when there are no adults to supervise. The pool enclosure can be securely locked to prevent unsupervised visits, which is essential because the second leading cause of accidental death in children is drowning.

Grandparents won’t hear the words, “I’m bored,” when there is an enclosed swimming pool. Nearly one in four grandparents provide childcare for parents about once a week, and the swimming pool gives the grandkids something to do – and it’s good for them too! Kids are becoming less active, and the swimming pool is a great way to get them moving while having fun.
