Most of us have been to pool parties, but why do we love them so much? Well, you’re about to find out. It turns out that pool parties combine various elements that appeal to our basic human needs. And this is what partly explains their popularity.
They’re A Social Activity
First, pool parties are a social activity. They make it easy to bring everyone together around something they all like, without leaving anyone feeling left out. Having the pool there creates a focal point for the occasion and provides people with something to do when they stop talking and munching on hors d’oeuvres. It makes the occasion more accessible to everyone, helping them to feel more welcome.
They’re A Creative Outlet
Pool parties are also an excellent opportunity for people to be more creative. That’s because swimming pool construction is a blank canvas. Ultimately, it’s up to you what you do with the space.
For example, pool parties can be an excellent way to play the music you love on full blast. You can also create decorations or games for guests to play while in the pool. Big, communal swimming pools are excellent if you enjoy having guests over regularly.
They’re Low Impact
Another cool aspect of pool parties is that they are low-impact, unlike rugby or American football. As such, people can still get plenty of exercise without injuring themselves. Spending an afternoon in the pool can reduce stress significantly and boost the immune system, helping it fight off disease. It’s also good exercise and an opportunity to burn calories.
They’re Great For Kids
Kids love pool parties, too. They’re fun for running, splashing, and jumping when properly supervised. Having parents there to watch the fun helps, too. Everyone gets what they want from the activity.
They Improve Mood
Swimming pools also bring a host of additional health benefits, including improving your mood and mental health. When there’s a swimming pool close by, it’s hard to have a bad time. Something about being close to water makes you want to let go of your troubles and just enjoy yourself for a while. Whether it’s splashing around or having fun while watching other people play sports, there’s something for everyone when it comes to pools and having fun.
They Let You Enjoy The Good Weather
There’s also the fact that swimming pools make it easy for you and your family to enjoy the good weather. When the sun comes out, you can take the cover off the pool and dive in to cool down.
