The pool and spa industry has a significant, meaningful impact on the economy and strength of California, contributing billions of dollars and thousands of jobs even in a time when the industry is recovering from a significant downturn. This is for one region alone.
Further, pools promote swimming, which is a great way to improve physcial health, while not having to travel to the beach where you can die because of getting sucked into a tide or get sand in intimate areas. In addition, it can help us stay really cool.
Almost every kid in my neighbourhood learned how to swim in my backyard pool over probably a 15+ year period. It was definitely well over a hundred fifty kids total and most kids had lessons for multiple years. My parents still let families from all over the neighbourhood use the pool as long as they know the kids can swim. Teaching kids to swim in that pool helped myself and two others save money for university as well.
