Christmas Around the Pool
While much of the rest of the country dreams of a white Christmas, folks here in Florida are planning Christmas pool parties. Pool Works Pools & Spas of Auburndale, FL, would like to share some tips for getting the most out of your swimming pool events this holiday season.
Have The Pool Serviced
If you don’t usually schedule regular pool cleaning and maintenance, you definitely want to get this done before any parties or gatherings.
Pool service includes:
- Water testing
- Adding the correct amount of chemicals and sanitizer to the water
- Inspecting your pool’s pumps and filters
- Ring lubrication, if necessary
- Inspecting the salt system
- Thorough cleaning of the filtration system, pump and skimmer baskets
- Cleaning the water’s surface
- Adjusting water levels
These and other routine pool maintenance tasks will ensure that the water is clean, healthy and ready to be enjoyed.
Plan Ahead
Little get-togethers here and there during the holiday season are pretty easy to manage. But if you’re planning a full-on party, you should plan ahead. Things to consider:
- The size of the guest list
- Parking for the guests
- The number of chairs, tables and other outdoor pool furniture that will be needed
- How much food will need to be prepared
- Who will prepare it
- Who will clean up after it’s prepared
- Sufficient pool toys to keep children happy
- Keeping the pool deck free of clutter that could cause an accident
- Holiday decorations you want to add to the pool area
- A way to keep wet bodies in designated areas within your home and not traipsing on expensive carpets and flooring
- Who will be responsible for after-party clean-up
If You Don’t Have A Pool

A safe, healthy swimming pool at your home will bring you these seven benefits:
1. Gentle swimming is a known stress reliever.
2. Pools are great for low-impact cardio exercise.
3. Busy families can reconnect around a lush swimming pool.
