7 Reasons Why Above Ground Pools are a July 4th Must-Have

Posted by Team Funsicle

#1 – Complete convenience

Instead of planning your schedule around visiting the local pool or driving long distances to the beach, an above ground pool is right there in your backyard. Now you don’t have to pack the car or run around to get everyone ready – with plenty of free time to enjoy your summer.

#2 – Endless fun and games

The list of games to play in an above ground pool is way too long to list in this post! Along with swimming, a pool becomes the focus of social fun by adding play to the mix. Activities that get everyone involved include floating volleyball, basketball and pool pong.

#3 – Perfect for entertaining

No one wants to attend a gathering without the right ambience. As well as never-ending games and swimming, an above ground pool is an ideal way to bring people together. Pools create an instant talking point and are a great way to meet new people in your community or host friends and family.

#4 – Pets adore them

Any loving pet owner knows that dogs (especially those with thick fur) need to be kept cool during the summer for their safety. Above ground pools are ideal for dogs to cool off in and burn off energy by swimming – keeping them both healthy and refreshed. If your pet isn’t a fan of pools, a splash mat or sprinkler does the trick.

#5 – Kids LOVE them

Keeping kids entertained and comfortable during the long summer break is a problem you won’t have to worry about. An above ground pool delights young ones during the heat and banishes boredom with exciting games. Be warned – your backyard may become a popular hang-out for happy children.

#6 – Storable for next summer

Unlike in-ground pools, above ground pools can be disassembled and stored away – so you can bring it out for summer the following year.

#7 – You can throw the best July 4th pool party ever

Just like barbecues and fireworks, pool parties are a summer staple. With an above ground pool, a regular gathering is elevated to an awesome pool party – the best way for guests to cool down during the festivities.
