Our reasons for having a pool at home are somewhat different than most. We had a big pool and spa in Hunters Creek. We didn't think we wanted to deal with another pool here at TV. But we rented for 6 months before we built our home. Since our son, Patrick, is disabled, we found that very few of the community pools have a pool lift. Also, when it's cold outside, he gets very cold going from the water in the pool to getting out and going home. Also, we loved our spa in the wintertime......so we thought we would do a swim spa, but we went the whole way and put in a nice small pool and an above the ground spa.......I guess I just can simplify my life!
