They have to be maintained and I don't like the smell of chlorine it gives me a headache. I take an antihistamine when I go to the pool by the post boxes. Plus going there is more social.
I understand some people who want one put it in but why is the developer putting them in. It seems to me that it is a personal thing that should be left to the buyer. It seems if the yard is big enough (what I want) they have stuck a pool in it, plus they tack on 40 to 50 grand for it.

Does anyone else feel this way.
I have a pool and love it. Walk in it, swim in it, have it maintained (yes it costs money) by TD Pool and has no chlorine smell as it has a salt generator. Also heat it with solar panels which costs more money. Regarding your swim spa comment. Are you a midget? Easy solution is if the home already has a pool, don't buy it if you don't want it.
