Benefits of Owning a Pool

Know where your kids are.

Did you know that the average American family can spend close to $100 a week on each child to entertain them while home from school during the summer? The cost of sports and activity camps can really add up, and so can memberships at town recreation facilities, trips to waterparks, or expensive vacations to the beach. With a swimming pool in your backyard, however, your kids have endless entertainment right at home—and you don’t even have to drive them to it!

Work out, calm down, make peace.

In addition to serving as a summer haven for your kids, owning a swimming pool can benefit your health—swimming can burn more than 400 calories per hour! A quick dip after work can help you de-stress and relax. Even just sitting out by the pool on a quiet summer evening with a glass of iced tea and a good book can be a source of immense calm.

Entertain with style.

You’ll become the envy of the neighborhood when you entertain in your new backyard. Whether it’s a family-friendly pool party with Marco Polo and pool volleyball or an adult-only gathering with wine, grilling, and good conversation, a swimming pool provides the perfect atmosphere to enjoy summer sunshine and good company. Close a business deal after entertaining customers in your backyard. Host a bridal shower for your niece. Throw a birthday party for your daughter. Invite the neighborhood over for a fundraiser. Your pool becomes the go-to venue for all of your entertaining needs.

Automatic Pool Covers

Think about your garage door. You press a button – it opens. You press the button again – it closes. What if covering and uncovering your pool were that simple?

It can be, with the Leading Edge® Automatic Pool Cover substructure components from Fort Wayne Elite Pools.

Engineered to be an integral a part of your pool, the Leading Edge® coping system allows the cover to slide smoothly across the entire length of your pool, locking into place automatically at the far edge. When you’re ready to swim, it slides back just as easily – all at the touch of a button.

POOL SAFETY

Smart pool owners always think safety first. They take specific steps to ensure that their family, friends and guests are knowledgeable about the safe and sensible use of their pool. They also always ensure that:

• their pool is never used unless there is adequate supervision
• their pool is kept in good repair and is not used when there is a missing or broken drain cover or other component
• ALL CHILDREN using their pool are supervised constantly
• anyone under the influence of alcohol, drugs or stimulants that impair their judgment abilities does not use the pool
• their pool is protected by appropriate barriers to unsupervised entry including fencing with self-latching gates, safety covers, alarms, etc.

At Fort Wayne Elite Pools, we encourage you to talk with all members of your family about pool safety and we promote a “feet first” approach to entering your pool—much safer than diving.

Fort Wayne Elite Pools supplies each new pool owner with a number of very important items of safety literature and we strongly encourage you to read each item carefully and follow its instructions:

• Pool Owner’s Safety Handbook
• Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP) “Sensible Way” book
• Vinyl swimming pool liner warranty information
• “Children Aren’t Waterproof” book
• “No Diving” labels
• Safety plaque and “Notice” card

STEPS

Fort Wayne Pools was the first company to make stairs for vinyl-liner pools, more than 30 years ago. Today we’ve enhanced and perfected our step design to give you a variety of options for a durable, stylish entry into your pool.

• Our Acrylic/Fiberglass stairs are rigid and strong, vacuum-formed from a single piece of acrylic and then hand laid with multiple layers of fiberglass for outstanding structural support. Many shapes and styles are available in this line, including contour, cantilever, in-wall ladder, leisure bench and corner.
• Our Thermoplastic stairs, are flexible and durable. Co-extruded and vacuum-formed from a single sheet of ABS supported Luran® material from BASF, our Performance Thermoplastic steps are 100% non-corrosive and will withstand all the elements. Ask your Strong Support builder about gray and blue marble options that coordinate nicely with select vinyl liner patterns and spillover spas. Among the many styles of Performance Thermoplastic steps available are sunledge, contour, Roman, Swim-n-Lounge and in-wall ladder.
• Our steel stairs offer unparalleled strength and durability. Crafted from 14-gauge copper bearing steel and coated with a heavy zinc galvanization, steel stairs allow you the ability to custom design an in-pool step in nearly any shape or configuration you can dream of, including contour, radius, benches, and more. The continuity of the vinyl liner over the steel step is an attractive feature, while also stable and strong. Discuss steel step options with your Strong Support dealer to design a pool entryway that’s perfect for your poolscape.
