You won’t be alone; thousands of Americans are making their dreams a reality by becoming pool owners. If you’re thinking of joining them in the sun, don’t imagine yourself just getting the pool — you’ll be getting into a major investment The price of swimming pools has declined in recent years, and now many more people can afford to have one.
