Pools.

Do you have one?

I do, and I had to clean it yesterday. It was so dirty & discusting because we should run the pump for like 8 hours a day and put chlorine in it, and we didn't for like 3 weeks with the cover half-off. Anyway my mom decided she wanted it cleaned and I was like we're not going to use it anymore this year and she was like clean it. So I went out and dumped 2 shock pucks in it to try and get it less green and then I had to take the skimmer net and skim all the leaves and junk off the top of the water, then when that was over and done with I had to get turn the pump on so I could vacum all the stuff off the bottom so when I was doing that the water was getting clearer. Then when I was all done vacuming I took out the skimmer baskets and emptied them and then and I had to backwash the filter for like an hour to get it clean and put the blue solar cover on it.

Pools are a lot of work and I hope our next house dosen't have one, but I hope it has a hot-tub <3

my friend has one, but the cover broke about 7 years ago and they never bothered fixing it, so its more like a pond, the waters greeny black, and u can catch newts and frogs in it. there are even a few lisards about... wouldnt want to swim in it though, the actual pond is probably cleaner lol

Yes, I actually do have a pool. I kind of feel guilty about owning it though because I hardly use mine, and I know tons of my friends would kill to have a pool, so I just invite them over.

I just don't like being wet, it's generally a bad feeling, I prefer to just bake in the 30 degree weather and get a suntan, and not go swimming, rather then get hot, go in the pool, get freezing and have to start all over again. It just doesn't make sense for me :p

Nope, i don't have a pool. But, i would like one, but i guess you would get bored of it after a while & use it less.
