Have you ever taken a dip in a pool or Jacuzzi and noticed that the water was really cold? Even though the pool or Jacuzzi is probably heated, there is still a chance that the water is not at the right temperature. When this happens, you will be in for a shock because the water will feel like ice on your skin. It is highly unlikely that you will want to continue dipping your body in the cold water, but there is no way to prevent this feeling if the water is not at the right temperature. Most pools and Jacuzzi’s are only designed to give the user a pleasant experience, but this is not always the case. Some pools and Jacuzzi’s have serious design flaws that make it dangerous and/or unpleasant for the user. One of the more obvious reasons for this is that the steps leading up to the pool or Jacuzzi are often poorly designed and/or placed. This can make it really hard for anyone weighing down the steps, and it’s not always easy to tell whether or not the water is going to be safe to swim in. If you are the type of person that tends to get colds and flus, then you might want to consider finding a more expensive pool or Jacuzzi that is not prone to these types of problems. This article is going to tell you about some things that you can try to make swimming in your pool or Jacuzzi more pleasant. It is certainly not going to tell you that these are the only things that you can do or that these will solve all of your problems, but it will hopefully convince you to try a few new things that might give your swimming experience a whole new dimension.

Build An Ark Above The Pool
If you live in an area where the climate is cold, then you know exactly how unpleasant the ice cold swimming pool water can be. One of the simplest ways for anyone to avoid this is by building an ark above the pool. An ark is a waterproof container that is kept above the pool to catch dripping water and keep the pool at a constant temperature. This is also a great way to keep the pool free of any nasty substances that you might find in the water. It is usually made of fiberglass or plastic, and it is held in place by either concrete or metal pilings that are driven into the ground. You can buy a ready built ark at any pool supply store for about $250. This is a small price to pay to avoid the ice water and ensure your comfort while swimming.
Install An Insulation Blanket Above The Pool
Did you know that the temperature of the water in your pool or Jacuzzi can vary quite a bit? We would be lying if we said that this did not affect our pool or Jacuzzi experience in any way, but it can be quite the opposite. Sometimes, when the weather is cold and wet, but the sun is shining brightly, the water can get quite warm. At other times, when the weather is cold and dry, the water can get quite chilly. The point is that there is a wide range of temperature conditions in which a pool or Jacuzzi can exist, and it is quite possible for the water to be neither hot nor cold when you enter it. One way for anyone to make sure that the water feels the right temperature when they are in it, and to avoid any nasty surprises is to install an insulation blanket above the pool. This type of blanket is mostly made of neoprene and provides a great deal of insulation as well as noise reduction. What this means is that instead of feeling cold as soon as you get into the water, you will actually find that it feels a lot more pleasant than ever before. This is because of the effective insulation that the blanket provides. Furthermore, you can prevent any noises above the noise level of a jet engine from intruding into your swimming pool or Jacuzzi experience. It is advisable to install this type of insulation blanket above the pool, but if it gets a bit too cold, then you can always remove it and go back to the previous method of dealing with the problem. Removing and replacing the blanket is quite simple, and this is often the best way to deal with excessively cold or warm water rather than trying to adjust it by hand while swimming. The installation of an insulation blanket above the pool/Jacuzzi is an affordable option for anyone that wants to improve their experience while swimming. It is quite possible for any pool or Jacuzzi owner to spend less than $250 on one.
Get A Wet Suit
Did you know that your suit affects the way that you feel when swimming? The truth is that most people do not feel very good when swimming in a dry suit. In fact, they often feel quite the opposite because of the way that the suit feels against their skin. A wet suit feels much better than a dry one, and it also provides better insulation and protection from the water. This is one of the primary reasons that most swimmers prefer to wear a wet suit whenever they go into the water. It is quite possible for you to spend less than $100 on a wet suit, and this is quite a small investment that will pay dividends in terms of your comfort while swimming. If you live in a cold area where the water is often icy, then it is advisable to invest in a wet suit because these are completely waterproof and offer better insulation against the cold. If you live in an area where the water is always warm, then you might want to consider skipping this step because the wet suit will not provide you with sufficient benefits. What this means is that you should only get a wet suit if the water is cold or icy, and the suit will make a massive difference in your swimming experience. In fact, many people claim that it is quite possible to completely eliminate any feelings of discomfort while swimming in a wet suit. The truth is that a wet suit will keep you much warmer than a dry one, and it is definitely a better option for people that live in cold areas because of this.

Put Sunscreen On
Did you know that UV rays from the sun can cause cancer? This is why it is extremely important to protect your skin from the sun whenever you go swimming. UV rays can cause cancer, and it is also one of the primary reasons that people get skin cancer. Did you know that there are certain types of sunscreen that are specifically designed to block UV rays? Of course, there are also the harmful ingredients that most people avoid even though they could very well be shielding them from UV rays. Did you know that putting on sunscreen can greatly improve your swimming experience? The reason for this is that UVA rays (long wavelength UV rays) and UVB rays (short wavelength UV rays) can both be blocked by sunscreen, and this can help to keep your skin looking healthy and natural even though you are swimming in the water. In addition to this, sunscreen can also reduce the look of wrinkles and fine lines, and it makes your skin look more plump and healthier. Did you know that there are different types of sunscreen for different types of skin? Did you know that some people have sensitive skin and cannot use certain types of sunscreen? Certainty! This is why it is always best to ask the shop owner about the sunscreen that they have in stock because different types of sunscreen can be more or less effective for different types of skin. If you have sensitive skin, then you might want to try a cheaper option because there are a lot of good quality sunscreen products that do not include harmful toxins. The truth is that the cheaper the product, the more obnoxious and dangerous the ingredients tend to be, so if you want to have a pleasant experience while swimming, then it is advisable to spend a bit more on sunscreen.
