5 Types of Businesses that Can Be Improved with Pools

A pool can increase the value of a home and provide some cool relief when temperatures soar. However, homeowners aren’t the only ones who can benefit from having pools. Swimming pools can also add value to commercial structures, including those listed below. If you own a commercial space or are about to build one, San Diego Pools suggests that you may want to consider the advantages of adding a pool.

1. Spa

No luxury spa is complete without a pool and hot tub for visitors to enjoy. In fact, to accommodate visitors who are looking for unique experiences, many spas have multiple types of pools, including saltwater pools, oxygenated pools, and plunge pools. Fortunately, most indoor and outdoor pools can be built to the exact specifications of the spaces available in a variety of commercial settings.

2. Gym

Since there are so many gyms competing to attract members, it’s important for each one to make itself unique. By incorporating a pool in your building, you can stand out from the rest. A pool will make the cost of membership even more worthwhile, as this will give members a place to do water-based exercises or relax after working out. Many gyms see significant surges in membership after having pools built.

3. Apartment Community

Apartment buildings with pools are generally more appealing to residents than complexes without them. In fact, amenities tend to be some of the most important features when people compare apartments, especially if they’re offered at similar price points. Most commercial real estate owners can even increase rent prices when they have pools because of the higher demand, which makes a pool a great investment, especially in warm climates such as San Diego. Pool construction companies such as San Diego Pools can design custom pools that make apartment communities much more attractive to prospective tenants.

4. Hotel

Most individuals who are traveling, whether for work or pleasure, want to have pools in their hotels, and it may even impact their decision about where to stay, even if it means spending more money. Most hotels either renovate to fit a pool or incorporate a pool and spa when they’re first beginning to build.

5. Physical Therapy Center

For many individuals, physical therapy involves working out in the water to reduce the burden on the joints. By having a pool readily available, it’s easier for patients to get the help they need without having to go to an outside center. A pool can make one physical therapy center more appealing than another, which can mean an increase in the number of patients and, in turn, higher profits. In addition, patients will be able to use the pools with physical therapists to ensure they’re working out in the proper manner.
