A portion of Georgia Spa's proceeds from the second quarter will go to supporting these organizations:<\/p>\r\n\r\n Adventure Bags<\/strong> Boys & Girls Club of Winder-Barrow County Camp Twin Lakes<\/strong><\/span> With summer right around the corner, many\r\nfamilies are looking into swimming recreational entertainment for their\r\nfamilies. Traditional swimming pools, both above ground vinyl pools or inground\r\nfiberglass and concrete pools, have been the standard for a long time. But\r\nrecently, a traditional pool alternative, has emerged and quickly grown in\r\npopularity. A swim spa provides swim-in-place technology in a dedicated and\r\nversatile space that can be used for a year-round wellness experience. In this article, we'll explore the differences\r\nbetween the traditional type of pools and the newer swim spa options to help\r\nyou decide which option is right for you and your family.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n Inground Pools Concrete pools can cost\r\nbetween $50,000 and $100,000, and they are one of the more expensive pools to\r\nupkeep with 10-year operating costs reaching as high as $27,000. Inground pools made with\r\nliners can run between $35,000 and $65,000. While one of the more affordable\r\nin-ground options, liner pools can bubble and tear. Using an inground pool\r\nin cooler months can also result in heating costs of $120 to $850, depending on\r\nthe type of pool and how it is heated.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n Above Ground Pools Above ground pools are\r\nnot very customizable and are hard to heat. One choice you'll have for these\r\ntypes of pools include choosing between longer, rectangular shape or a more\r\ntraditional round shape. Many families build decks around above ground pools,\r\nand this can bring the project to a much higher price point. Whether inground or\r\nabove ground, most states or counties require by law that you have a fence that\r\nlocks built around the pool, which could be an added cost to consider with your\r\npurchase. This requirement may not apply to a swim spa. ALWAYS READ UP ON YOUR LOCAL LAWS REGARDING POOLS AND FENCING BEFORE\r\nPURCHASING!<\/strong> Swim Spas Despite the smaller\r\nfootprint, swim spas offer many benefits. They provide swim-in-place\r\ntechnology, the ability to run or walk with a treadmill addition or excise with\r\nresistance band or an aqua bike. You'll also feed your emotional well-being by\r\nenjoying time with your family and friends and the ability to simply relax. Swim spas also have a\r\nlower amount of maintenance required. With a constant cover, you are not always\r\nhaving to remove unwanted debris. Many swim spa owners choose their model\r\nbecause it looks clean in their backyard, allows for other space and it is cost\r\nefficient. Additionally, a swim spa can be used year-round. Heating a swim spa,\r\nwith its smaller footprint, can be less than half the cost of heating a\r\ntraditional pool, especially in the winter months. Factoring in Size Think About Maintenance Home Entertainment Seasonal vs. Year-Round Use Installation Georgia Spa Company proudly carries Endless Pools swim spas<\/strong><\/a>.

<\/span><\/strong>I was a clerk\/bagger at Ingles. I worked there for two summers while I was in high school.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/span><\/strong>I have traveled to Nicaragua twice for Cigar Safaris. Those were very memorable trips. I also have enjoyed traveling to Boston to watch baseball at Fenway Park and visit the North End, Boston's Little Italy. I've also enjoyed a couple Bahamas cruises. Trips on my bucket list include a cruise around Italy visiting various cities and a transpacific cruise that visits Bora Bora. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
I could live everyday as if it was Taco Tuesday. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n
Watching sports, hanging out with family and friends, visiting coffee shops, going to the gym and hiking. I recently hiked Mt. Yonah and Blood Mountain. Those were two of the better day hikes I've been on so far. <\/span> <\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/span><\/strong>1. Visit Italy to see the sights and history, and maybe connect with some distant relatives.
2. Hike Glacier National Park in Montana.
3. Maybe skydive. It's been on the list for a while, but still to be determined if I'll take the leap. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
I don't usually re-watch TV shows. I would rather watch something new, but sometimes I'll flip to reruns of Impractical Jokers or Big Bang Theory. Those are two I can watch anytime. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/span><\/strong>When I was younger, I learned how to say the\r\nalphabet backwards.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/strong><\/span>My all time favorite sport is baseball. I played for years and went to a lot of Braves games growing up. It surprises most people, but my favorite sport to watch is actually hockey - especially in-person or during the Stanley Cup playoffs. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
All time favorites are The Godfather, parts I and II, and Boondock Saints, but I have several favorites depending on the genre. Without a Paddle and Little Italy are among them. <\/span> <\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/strong><\/span>Life\r\nis too short for what ifs and regrets. Do the things you want when you have the\r\nchance. And take chances. Tell others how you feel. Don't look back five\r\nminutes from now or at the end of your life and have what ifs and regrets you\r\ncould have done something about. Live your life now and be happy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/strong><\/span>At that age I was playing a lot of sports, mostly traveling\r\nbaseball, year-round, so I'd say slow down and expand the things you are\r\ninvolved in. There's more to life to experience and enjoy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/span><\/strong>Currently, it is probably Astronaut in the Ocean by\r\nMasked Wolf.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/span><\/strong>If I'm having a special dinner with anyone, I'm picking\r\nthe people closest to me - my parents, Vince and Misty, and my brother, Tye.\r\nOur family dinners are the best and usually filled with lots of laughter. Those\r\nnights with them are better than picking anyone famous or random for dinner.

What is\r\nyour favorite holiday and why?
<\/span><\/strong>St. Patrick's Day. I like all the green, the Irish pub music and all the\r\nfestivities of the holiday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/strong><\/span>I am a dog person, I have an 8-year-old dog\r\nnamed Elias, or Eli for short. He's named after Walt Disney's middle name. He was a puppy when I adopted him from Petsmart through the Humane\r\nSociety. His DNA test results show him to be part Labrador retriever, German shepherd, American Staffordshire terrier and boxer. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Adventure Bags<\/strong><\/a> is a way to give children going through such traumatic events (in their lives), something to call their own, something to keep wherever they go. The organization's goal is for each affected child (experiencing such events) to be given an Adventure Bag, and they partner with various agencies such as the Department of Family and Children's Services (DFCS), domestic violence shelters, fire departments, law enforcement agencies, homeless shelters, and other organizations that serve Georgia's most vulnerable children.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n

<\/strong><\/span>Inground pools can\r\nrequire a lot of space and construction. The average price and set up for an\r\ninground fiberglass pool, including accessories, can run between $45,000 and\r\n$85,000. A fiberglass pool can last a long time and require little maintenance\r\nand are not considered as substantial as a plaster or concrete pool. Problems\r\nthat can arise with a fiberglass pool can range from improper installation,\r\nearthquakes or any other hard impact that can develop issues.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
<\/strong><\/span>When researching pools,\r\nyou are likely to come across above ground options as well. There are many\r\noptions available in the category, from simple kid-size pools you can pick up\r\nat your local box store to above ground pools that can cost into the thousands.\r\nThe average cost for an above-ground pool kit can run from $2,500 to $7,000,\r\ndepending on the brand's quality and size.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/span><\/strong>An alternative to\r\ntraditional pools, a swim spa has unlimited potential for fitness, swimming\r\nfamily fun and relaxation in one space-saving footprint. The starting price\r\npoint for a quality swim spa will begin around $20,000, with additional options\r\navailable that include an underwater treadmill, aqua bike, resistance bands,\r\nBluetooth sound systems, fitness apps and more. Total cost will be dependent on\r\noptions selected as well as brand, model, and size. Swim spas range from 12' to\r\n20' in length and can vary from around 6' to 8' wide. Various depths are also\r\navailable.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/strong><\/span>Yards are getting\r\nsmaller and smaller. Larger pools can overrun your yard and give you less\r\nbreathing room. For most homes, swim spas are a more ideal choice in terms of\r\nspace and allowing areas for your lawn, gardening, gatherings, and outdoor\r\ngames.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
<\/strong><\/span>Larger, traditional\r\npools are going to have a more rigorous level of maintenance due to the sheer\r\nvolume. Annual chemical costs, utilities and man-hours can quickly add up when\r\nmaintaining a traditional pool. While swim spas are not without their own\r\nupkeep, the lower volume of water and constant cover, when not in use, provide\r\nfor simpler and less expensive maintenance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/span><\/strong>Another pool option is\r\ngoing to a local public or private club pool. With that option, you can have\r\nmembership fees and have deal with packing essentials, travel, and shared use.\r\nYou're also relying on others to properly maintain the pool with a high-level\r\nof use. Having a swimming spot - whether inground, above ground or a swim spa -\r\nright in your own backyard is without a doubt a wonderful connivence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/span><\/strong>Most traditional pools\r\nare only going to be available for season use. The months you can use it are\r\nweather dependent, which can vary year-to-year. You'll also incur time and\r\nexpense in winterizing the pool for those months you can't use it. A swim spa can be heated and used year-round. Regulated temperature means you don't\r\nhave to lose what you're paying for a good chunk of the year. Continue your\r\nexercise routine, enjoy hydrotherapy, let the kids have fun and relax no matter\r\nwhat season it is!
<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/strong>For any pool options, preparation will be required. A sturdy, level surface will be necessary. With inground pools, you'll also have a depth clearance in your yard to dig the needed space. This step can have a long preparation process. With above ground pools, you'll also need to check for underground piping, drainage or wiring that the pool cannot go above. This can also be a factor in where you'll place a swim spa, but the footprint needed will be smaller. With a swim spa, you may already have enough space on an existing patio, or a concrete pad may need to be added. Once you have the area will the swim spa will go, you'll also want to factor in getting the unit to the desired space. Typically, this can be done with a standard delivery crew trained to deliver the swim spa, but occasionally a crane may be necessary. While that may be an added cost if needed, crane costs are reasonable.

Enjoy Your New Pool
<\/span><\/strong>Hopefully this article helped shed some light on some the different\r\nfactors to consider when purchasing a pool for your home. While traditional\r\ninground or above ground pools have been the older norm for an at-home swimming\r\nexperience, those options may no longer be the best option for you.
