How to Create a Romantic Pool Setting: Lighting, Music, & More

Whether you’re celebrating a romantic holiday or birthday or simply want to have a private swimming pool adventure with your partner, it’s best to make the scene as dream-worthy as possible. Doing so not only helps you strengthen your relationship, but the gesture could also ease anxiety and boost your moods by promoting the release of positive endorphins and much more. Below, the San Diego pool and spa experts from San Diego Pools offer some ways to make a swimming pool more romantic.

Lighting

When adding lights around the pool, you can develop a warm and intimate scene. The energy that comes from the lights will vary. For example, soft colors can make the two of you feel calmer and more relaxed, while orange or dark colors can have a more intimate impact. The colors you choose should align with the atmosphere you wish to create around your pool.

Besides enhancing the mood, the added lighting can make it easier to use the pool at night without compromising your safety, especially regarding visibility. Whether outside the pool or inside it, you can walk around, take laps through the water, or stand in the middle and gaze into each other’s eyes. Moving between the pool stairs, deck furniture, and other areas is also easier with additional lighting.

Movie Date

If you have an outdoor television, this is a great idea. Building chemistry and levels of intimacy comes more naturally in a soothing setting, especially when romantic movies are involved. Therefore, being inside or near the swimming pool is the soothing appeal you and your partner may be looking for, and watching a movie together can bring you even closer if you hold hands during the show or discuss the different scenes and characters after.

Meals or Refreshments

Leaving home for a dinner date is unnecessary. However, to spruce up the evening more, you can enjoy dinner around or inside the swimming pool. You need to have your loved one’s favorite foods, snacks, and beverages as well as heartwarming notes and candles at the table next to the pool. If you prefer to eat while inside the pool, you can do so using large or small floating tables.

Music & Conversation

Adding some music while you and your partner discuss the week or adorable past adventures can provide the romance you seek, all from inside your pool or while sitting on furniture around it. The type of seating arrangements or speakers you have will depend on your yard’s space and what can be added to the area.
