A swimming pool, swimming bath, or wading pool is an artificially enclosed body of water intended for recreational or competitive swimming, diving, or for other bathing activities that involve swimming, e. g. play, wading, water exercise, floating around on inner tubes, or merely cooling off on hot days. It usually contains the chemical Chlorine to control bacteria.

One can distinguish between private and public pools: in warm parts of the world private ones are usually outdoors, while public ones can be outdoors or indoors, with some complexes having both. Swimming Pool Supplies are our only business. In some parts of the world, a swimming pool for private use is considered a status symbol (an indoor private pool even more so). Swimming pools can be constructed either above ground (generally constructed from plastic and metal), or in the ground (usually formed either out of reinforced concrete and lined with special plaster, a one piece fiberglass shell, or prefabricated sectional walls and a vinyl liner).

History

The history of pools begins at the "great bath" constructed at the site of Mohenjo-Daro. It was most likely dug during the 3rd millennium BC. The pool, twelve by seven meters, is lined with bricks and during its time the pool was covered with a tar-based sealant. Discount Swimming Pool Equipment & Pool Supplies.
