Fall: The Perfect Time to Consider Investing in a Pool

by Kerri Cooke

You usually don’t associate fall with swimming. 

As air temperatures and humidity decrease, the desire to submerge yourself outside can subside. However, just because fall isn’t prime swimming season doesn’t mean pool installations are slowing down. Grant Tassin, sales manager at Sabine Pools, says, “Many families make the decision to get a pool in the summer and then plan out their design and materials choices in the fall. That gives us the winter to build the pool so the customer is ready to swim in the spring.” 

Just because many pools look the same doesn’t mean you can’t tailor a pool to match your home, personal style and desires. Sabine Pools can customize a pool to your wants, needs and lifestyle. Tassin says the process begins with customers “choosing a general design style from the photo gallery at SabinePools.com or by scheduling an appointment with one of our inground pool specialists. We then measure the area, discuss their preferences for the pool and surrounding area and review options for water features. Next, we create a 3D design to show how the pool looks and fits in their backyard, and then we go to prepare for Dig Day. Weather permitting, we’re in and out in four to six weeks, and we have another happy family swimming in Southwest Louisiana!” 

Gunite pools, the type of inground pools Sabine Pools offers, are the most popular choice for customers “because they allow for infinite size, shape, design and material choices, as well as any configuration of water features,” Tassin says. The ability to add unique and tailored elements to your pool is another great advantage. “Flush or raised spas, tanning ledges, in-pool seating, umbrella anchors and fountains are just a few of the custom features we offer,” Tassin adds. “If you can dream it, we can build it!” 

Not everyone has the space or finances to invest in an inground pool. This is why Sabine Pools also offers above ground pools. Tassin emphasizes that above ground pools also provide “a great swimming experience” and still help families “create memories that last a lifetime.” 

During the fall, the desire for a hot tub can increase. Not only can hot water be therapeutic, it can provide relief from cold air temperatures. Tassin says Sabine Pools sells hot tubs that can be used year-round. “For cooler water during the warmer times of the year, simply turn the heater off. It’s always a good time to soak away your cares with a great neck, back or foot massage from the patented hydrotherapy jets in a Hot Spring Spa.”
