Swimming outdoors has plenty of benefits; it’s great for improving circulation, easing stress and boosting endorphin levels – but is this possible during the winter when the colder weather is an issue? The short answer is yes. Outdoor swimming doesn’t need to be restricted to the summer months, and with quality swimming pool maintenance and plenty of planning ahead, a Guncast luxury swimming pool can be kept open all year round. 

Outdoor Swimming Pool Heating

Pool heaters can maintain a comfortable temperature during the colder months and can be set up to perform economically, so there is full control over energy consumption. Investing in a quality swimming pool heating system makes all the difference. Guncast’s experienced swimming pool builders will make sure everything is properly installed and running smoothly to guarantee the swimming pool is fully operational, regardless of the forecast.

Insulating Swimming Pool Covers

Automatic swimming pool covers help to retain heat and maintain the desired pool temperature, which not only makes for a more pleasurable swimming experience, it also reduces the level of heating required, which in turn can help to reduce energy consumption.

Moving Floor Swimming Pools

Investing in a moving floor swimming pool is one of the most advantageous and long-term solutions to winter-proofing a pool, without compromising on space. The swimming pool floor can be raised to preserve heat, reduce evaporation and retain energy. Moving floor swimming pools are the eco-friendlier solution to maintaining warmth, as less chemicals are needed to treat the water when the pool is closed.  

It’s not just winter that hidden floor swimming pools protect against, the innovative raised floor will prevent the inevitable fall of autumn leaves from contaminating the water.
