April 25 - National Pool Opening Day

Happy National Pool Opening Day! Each year on the last Saturday in April, today encourages pool owners across the country to prepare their swimming pools for a summer of fun, fitness, and enjoyment. 

  

Swimming pools offer may benefits from physical exercise to social interaction to psychological benefits. Exercising in a swimming pool allows us to do many things that are difficult on land.  

The water makes us buoyant, so we don’t put as much strain on our joints. It also creates resistance, so every move becomes more of a workout.  

Another benefit is the cooling effect of water. It helps prevent overheating while exercising. Socializing at the swimming pool can be relaxing and fun. It can help relieve stress while enjoying friends and family. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Test and balance your water to ensure it is healthy and safe. Check your pool equipment for proper operation.  

Get out your favorite pool accessories so you can fully enjoy your pool. Post photos of you and your family enjoying your pool on social media using #PoolOpeningDay. 

HISTORY 

In 2016, Leslie’s Pool Supplies Service & Repair® founded National Pool Opening Day to celebrate that first cool dip and to encourage everyone to make their pools as safe and clean as possible. 

The Registrar at National Day Calendar® proclaimed the day to be observed annually on last Saturday in April.
