Health and Wellness: The Benefits of Owning a Pool

Written By Jason Mitchell

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, finding ways to relax, unwind, and stay healthy is more important than ever. Owning a pool, a luxury often seen as a mere source of entertainment, offers a multitude of health and wellness benefits. At CM Pools, we understand that a pool is not just an aesthetic addition to your home but a gateway to a healthier, more joyful lifestyle.

1. Physical Health: A Low-Impact Exercise Haven Swimming is a fantastic low-impact exercise, ideal for people of all ages and fitness levels. It's gentle on the joints, making it a perfect choice for those with arthritis or mobility issues. Regular swimming can improve cardiovascular health, increase muscle strength, and aid in weight management, all while being a fun activity, not just a workout.

2. Mental Wellness: Your Personal Stress-Relief Oasis There's something inherently calming about water. Owning a pool offers a private retreat for stress relief. Whether it’s the peaceful sound of water or the act of swimming, it can significantly reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. Immersing in the soothing waters of your pool can be your daily escape, offering a space for meditation and mindfulness.

3. Family and Social Health: A Hub for Connection Pools have a unique way of bringing people together. They become the center for family gatherings, parties, and social interactions. This can strengthen family bonds and encourage a socially active lifestyle. For children, playing in the pool is not only fun but also crucial for developing social skills.

4. Sleep Improvement: The Overlooked Benefit After a good swim, many people report a more restful and deeper sleep. Swimming is an excellent way to expend energy and reduce stress, which are key components in combating insomnia and other sleep-related issues.

5. Outdoor Living: The Health Benefits of Fresh Air and Sunshine Owning a pool encourages spending more time outdoors. Exposure to fresh air and sunlight can boost your vitamin D levels, essential for bone health and immune function. It also helps regulate your natural sleep-wake cycle, further promoting overall well-being.

6. Aesthetic Pleasure: The Joy of a Beautiful Space The aesthetic appeal of a pool and its surroundings can also contribute to your mental wellness. A beautifully designed pool area can be uplifting, enhancing your mood and creating a sense of pride and joy in your living space.

At CM Pools, we believe a pool is more than just a feature of your home; it's a source of lasting health and happiness. Whether you're swimming laps, hosting a poolside barbecue, or simply floating under the stars, the benefits of owning a pool touch every aspect of your life. Let us help you create not just a pool, but a wellness retreat right in your backyard.

Being creative is at my core what makes me, me. I started off my career as a national touring artist that played in a country band. We played on average 180 shows a year for five years throughout the United States and Bahamas. In 2006 signed with a label in Nashville, released a few singles, got featured in some magazines (both national print magazines as well as online publications) and in 2013 my single “Stomp” was picked up and featured as The Pittsburgh Steelers game song. On November 17th 2013, one of my dreams came true as I sang The National Anthem and performed my single “Stomp” on the 50 yard line for a crowd of 50,000 plus people at Heinz Field for The Steelers vs Lions game.

While I was on the road touring in 2008 I started a digital marketing business to help other artists out called Nocturnal Music Group. I primarily focused on social campaigns for musicians and bands, driving traffic to their sites but quickly found myself getting into areas that did not involve music and also being contacted for web design as well.

I fell into photography by chance due to a client needing photos and no one being available to do it. After that I was hooked and have been shooting ever since. I’ve shot artists and bands, weddings and engagements, maternity and new borns, models, products and everything in between. I’ve also been featured in magazines both domestic and in 2020 I became an internationally published photographer.
