10 Tips To Get Ready For The Swimming Pool Season

The swimming pool season is just around the corner and I bet you can’t wait to go swimming either. We have had a lot of snow on the east coast this year and I know that everyone is ready to open up their pools and get to swimming.

One of the big chores of the spring is opening the pool. Most people don’t have a physical problem getting the cover off and starting the system, the real problem occurs when they see the color of the swimming pool. It’s going to take a ton of chemicals to make it clear again.

We here at Swim University would like to share some tips with you:

1. Relax – Clearing your swimming pool is easy to do with SwimUniversity.com by your side
2. Always have a friend by to help you open your swimming pool
3. Open your pool while it’s still cooler out. Opening your pool late can we worse for algae growth
4. Be prepared for your opening before you start
5. Once you are opened. Run your filter system until it’s clear (if needed)
6. Get your pool water tested right away
7. Stick to one source for your swimming pool care information. Whether it’s us or a local pool store. You could get different advice from different sources and each one will set you back more and more.
8. Shock is your best friend, use it!
9. Clean your swimming pool cover before storing it.
10. Buy a tupperware container to store your pool cover for the summer. It will last you a lot longer
