Welcome to Pool and Ponds |
Swimming pools became popular in Britain in mid 19th century. By 1837, six indoor pools with diving boards were built in London, England. After the modern Olympic Games began in 1896 and included swimming races, the popularity of swimming pools began to spread (reference: Encyclopedia Britannica). In 1939, Oxford had its first major public indoor pool at Temple Cowley, and swimming began to take off. The Amateur Swimming Association was founded in 1869 in England and the Oxford Swimming Club in 1909 with its home at Temple Cowley Pool.

Realize that once you purchase a pool, much of the work could be done by sub-contractors. This could slow project development. Ask about the companies you will be working with. Consider this - installing an inground pool requires excavating. The machine will need access, and your yard will get messy. Fences, trees, plants and utility lines may need to be moved. Be flexible, weather and sub schedules will likely cause delays. Agree before hand, what is not to be touched, who will pay what, and who will clean up after it's all over |
