Are you thinking of getting a pool for your CT home? While looking around, you might have seen something about plunge pools. You might be tempted to go ahead and start looking on your phone for "CT plunge pools." You also want to consider privacy, so you should also look up "CT pool fencing." While this might wind up being a good decision, you want to make sure that it's the best one for you or if you should think about getting a larger one. 

Pro: It's Perfect For Relaxing on a Hot Day

The temperatures might be soaring into triple digits, but you can just stay cool in your plunge pool. Best of all, you won't have to exert yourself swimming. Instead, you can just lay there and let the cool water make you feel comfortable. Then you can dry off and go inside. If you get extras, you can even turn it into a hot tub. 

Con: You Can't Swim In It

A plunge pool is more of a compromise for people who have a yard but not enough space to get a larger pool where they can do laps. Kids might not like it since they can't play pool games - though you could make it a longer pool than usual and have it be about three feet deep. 

Some people might want to get the pool to do water aerobics. In that case, you could have the pool be the same dimensions in terms of length and width, but then have it be deeper so that you can immerse your body and take advantage of the low-impact part of it.

Pro: It Can Improve Esthetics

Let's say that you bought a home and there's a big space between your fence and your home. Rather than have that space remain unappealing, you can have a plunge pool that runs along that area. Your visitors will notice it as soon as they go into that area. Having something that adds to the decor and also allows you to relax, too? Yes, please. 

A good idea is to have seating built into the pool. That way, you can just sit down inside the pool and relax there. Of course, you can have a nice deck and chairs next to it. You can also have the option of having it be on the inside or the outside. If it's inside, then you can also use it on winter days. 

Pro: You Can Have Extra Things Added

You could have extra features built in, some of which wouldn't be available on a larger pool. You could have jets added to make it a hot tub. You could also have night lights put in so that you can relax on one of those early summer nights when it seems the sun doesn't go down until 10 p.m.

There are a lot of things to consider before going ahead with the decision to get a plunge pool. Everything always has its pros and cons. It's just a matter of weighing them. Spend time thinking about it. That way, you can be sure that you made the right decision and not have any regrets. 

Once you've made the decision to go ahead with the pool, you need to make sure that you meet all requirements and that you have filled out all the necessary paperwork. If you hire an experienced pool installer who has worked in your neighborhood, they can help guide you through the process. 

You have to think about your budget, too. Talk with your family about getting a plunge pool and see what they say. If everyone is in consensus, then you should go ahead. Then all of you can enjoy using it during the coming years.
