Can you think back to your favorite pool memory? Maybe it was the best poolside burger at your family barbeque, lounging in your swimsuit on a Sunday, or staying fit with some laps in the water. Whatever they may be, that is what National Swimming Pool Day is for, to remember and appreciate all the ways swimming pools make summer so fun!

We went back in time and found out that swimming pools were invented in 3000 B.C. in modern-day Pakistan, where they were made out of bricks and tar sealant. That doesn’t sound anywhere near as great as our Fiberglass Pool Installations, but we’ll take a dip where we can find it! Fast forward about 2,000 years and the first heated pool was created in ancient Rome, where pools were once built to conduct military drills, games, and athletic training. We still love to take laps in the pool and stay fit, but have innovated our heating systems a bit and now use Heat Pumps and Heaters instead of building fires.

The oldest pool in the United States, Underwood Pool in Belmont, MA, is actually just 30 miles away from our headquarters here in Plaistow, NH! In the past, not many homeowners were able to create backyard pools, but now it is simpler than ever to install an above or in-ground pool for your family!
