Swimming is still a popular activity in the United States. If you want your home to be more comfortable and enticing for working out, you may be considering the value of underground pools. Such an upgrade can improve the value of your home when you make the following considerations.

Design

You don't want just any old pool in your home. One that is built poorly won't attract an experienced home buyer who knows what to look for. Poor construction or an outdated look will turn people off. With that in mind, before you get excited about installing underground pools, make sure you have a contractor who understands modern design that can fit in the overall appearance of your home.

Maintenance

Like any other home feature, your pool requires regular maintenance and cleaning. A dirty pool filled with algae and dirt won't be very appealing; it can signal that you don't take care of your home. Some things to keep in mind are having a clean filter, using your pool cover, and maintaining healthy pH levels so you can always have a beautiful pool anyone would want to swim in.

Pool Surroundings

When you build a pool, consider its surroundings. Whether it's underground or above ground, the lighting, landscape, and security features make it more appealing. Have your landscaper come and maintain the area to prevent plant overgrowth over the pool that can cause debris to fall in. Think about how well you light the area to invite nighttime swimming. Even having the right furniture around the pool can add that extra touch.

Security

While swimming is one of the best things you can do to stay healthy, thanks to the low-impact aerobics it provides, a swimming pool can also be dangerous. That's why you should be mindful of security features to avoid accidents and risks of drowning, especially if you have small children or pets. This may include having the right gates, fences, and handlebars around your pool. Keep the area as secure as any other part of the house with alarms to prevent vandals from sneaking onto your property.

According to the CDC, 15% of American adults swim at least six times annually. Whether homeowners swim six or 60 times a year, the right elements can help your pool increase your property value.
