Learn Why Your Precious Pool Needs a Repair or Remodelling

It’s common for pool owners to feel like they have an edge over their neighbours and relatives because they have a great water-body installed in the premises. However, little can they imagine about the pitfalls of having a swimming pool at home. While a pool adds to the value of a property and contributes to its aesthetics there is no denying the fact that this specialty structure needs time to time maintenance for staying beautiful and functional throughout the year. That’s why specialty businesses have arrived in order to cater to pool renovations and repairs. To make sure that the pool stays at its optimal state for the entire year it is important that the structure is inspected in between. The in ground pool can become a nuisance due to lack of proper care or maintenance. 

The role of a pool remodelling and repairing contractor 

Having a swimming pool is easy, what is difficult is maintaining the same structure. However a pool repairer or remodeler will seek measures to not just clean up the in ground structure to be used further but at the same time will repair it and incorporate features for the pool to adapt with seasonal changes. The swimming pool is not a simple structure. All the repair and remodelling works need to be accomplished by professionals only.

Among all other issues that may arise with a swimming pool, this one stands as the commonest. Pump motors are vulnerable. They can fail due to varying reasons. However, it is important that the owner must get the problem fixed in order to ensure that the quality of pool water is not affected. The pump is responsible for circulating the water and filtering it. If a problem surfaces the owner must get it fixed without a delay.

Why do your eyes turn red when you swim?

Normally your eyes start to itch and start to itch after a swim. It is an assumption that it’s the chlorine in the water that turns the eyes red. It is not the chlorine, it’s the Chloramines. Chloramines’ is a mixture of chlorine that combines with what comes out of (urine or sweat or personal care products) swimmers bodies.

Chloramines cause irritation in the eyes and respiratory tract that causes adverse effect for people suffering from asthma.  Mixing of chlorine with urine creates chloramines, which uses up the chlorine in the pool, which kills germs otherwise. These germs mix with water when they wash off the swimmers’ bodies.

Chlorine and other pool water treatment don’t kill germs instantly. It takes time to kill the germs.

We share the swimming pool with others, and we must do our part to keep ourselves, our friends and family healthy. To help you protect yourself and other swimmers from germs, here are various prevention measures a swimmer should take before entering the pool:

Shower with a soap before you start swimming.

Take a rinse shower before you get back into water.

Take bathroom breaks every 60 minutes.

Wash your hands before with soap after using the toilet.

Don’t swallow the pool water.

Check the chlorine and pH level before entering.

  With these simple steps you can prevent the redness and itching of your eyes, will be able to enjoy your laps in the pool more than you currently do.

5- Odd Facts about Swimming:

We have watched Michael Phelps, Ian Thorpe and many other swimming legends in action at the Olympics, swimming their way to glory and increasing the popularity of sport world over.

Big thanks to them. As we know, swimming has a long and a rich history behind it.

There are some odd facts which you may find interesting and still find it odd.

1. The Oldest Swimming Technique:

The Breast stroke is considered to be the oldest swimming technique. Its origins date back to the Stone Age man. You read it right, Eyes popped out? Well, our eyes certainly did when we read about it. 

Proof can be found in a cave called “Wadi Sora” which is located in the southwest region of Egypt. The cave is depicted as “Cave of Swimmers and has found depictions of man in breast stroke position. Nicolas Winman wrote the first book on swimming in 1583(Eyes popped again??) title ‘Colymbetes’, in his book the main feature he wrote about was Breast Stroke Swimming.

2. The Longest Swim:

Martin Strel is most famous for his long distance and he has held numerous world records for his swimming expeditions. He is nicknamed as the “Fishman”.  Strel has successfully swum across many dangerous rivers. In 2007, he swam the entire length of the Amazon river in record breaking time. It took him 66 days to complete this feat as he swam across the 5268 km river. His accomplishments inspired a book on him and also a documentary. He has spread awareness about preserving the Rain Forest all around.

3. Why do swimmers shave their body hairs?

Swimmers are known to have slick body and shave their body hair. What is the need to shave all your body hair? Shaving gives them the physical and psychological benefit. Shaving helps the swimmers make their body slicker and help them better their swimming times.  Shaving gives them the aerodynamic edge that is required to better their swimming times.

The question still persists “Why do swimmers shave “? The reason is; Swimmers remove the dead cells on the surface of epidermis. After the removal of dead skin cells, a swimmer has a heightened water sense and the skin becomes more sensitive. Some swimmers are known to shave their head and feet too

4. Spandex V\S Nylon:

Swimming suits are made of materials that hug the body, decreases friction and helps prevent drag.

Spandex is considered to be the best material but it has a short shelf life. When exposed for long to chlorine, the fibres in spandex weaken and break.

On the other hand, Nylon is chlorine resistant, it doesn't have the drag resistance that spandex has.Thus, swimmers use nylon while training and Spandex while competing.

5. Worlds fastest Swimmer:

You might be wondering who the fastest swimmer on the planet is. Well, the fastest swimming organism is Sailfish. The sailfish can swim up to 110 km/hr and it is considered as a highly prized game fish.

It has the ability to change colour, making it impossible for its prey to recognize the threat and makes it easier for catching its prey. Its long and sharp nail has earned the nickname as Billfish. 

These are rather odd facts about swimming. Isn't it?
