Benefits To Having A Pool On Your Property
April 22, 2025
As we head into summer, we naturally start gearing up for the warm days spent in the garden with the kids, the cool nights relaxing with family and friends under the stars, the blissful BBQ lunches and the pleasure of just kicking back with a book. A swimming pool can make all the difference to your summer experience, but what sort of benefits does it really bring? We’ve put together this handy guide to some of the many advantages of a backyard pool.

Create Fun For All The Family
With a pool, you’ll truly be “the host with the most”. You’ll provide a great space for family and friends to relax, which is great if you’re a natural entertainer.
Make Weekend Plans Easier
With a swimming pool, gone is the hassle of working out what to do over the weekend, or of packing for those beach days. You’ll be able to just step out the back door and cool off in an instant – all without the need to brush off sand!
Improve Property Value
Installing a pool might not be cheap, but it definitely makes up for it in the long run by adding value to your home. Pools are particularly popular for families with kids, so you’ll give your property that competitive market edge by adding a pool to your backyard space.
Encourage Exercise
If you’re struggling to find time for exercise or are getting bored with the regular gym sessions, a pool can be a great fitness booster. Swimming laps before work or even just walking from one end of your pool to another can have great benefits for your health. Pools are also a great asset when it comes to rehabilitation, as water prevent undue stress on joints and encourages toning and muscle strength without the risk of further damage.
Promote Safety Awareness
You might be concerned about the safety of your young kids around a pool, but pools can be a great way of teaching your children to be confident and aware in and around the water. Proper pool fencing is a legal requirement across the country, and with drownings still a significant concern learning to swim has never been more important.
Encourage Exercise
When you install a pool on your property, you’ll transform your backyard into an attractive, eye-catching feature. Consider a well-designed outdoor space to match your existing architecture, coupled with tasteful and inviting landscaping to convey a sense of peace and calm.

Thanks so much for all your help. We are very happy with the pool. It was a very easy process and we will definitely be recommending Gibson Family Pools to others.
Brendan and Catherine Moylan, Moree
A quick note to say thank you for the great job that you and all of the team did for us. The entire process was very smooth and we were extremely happy with the final product. Jayson's suggestions regarding the positioning of the pool and even his landscaping ideas were very much appreciated. Your team were all very professional and courteous during the construction phase, I've never seen such a tidy construction site! The fact that the boys even filled in the small wheel marks on the lawn with top soil when they left highlights the excellent attention to detail that was evident throughout the project. Thanks again for an excellent job and for all of your help.

We would like to thank Jayson, Katwin and the rest of the team at Gibson Family pools for installing our pool. Jayson listened to what we wanted and his advice and suggestions were to our needs and budget. We had a hassle free experience from day one and the process was made easy as Katwin and Jayson took care of everything from the paperwork, dealing with local council to the installation process. The team were friendly and professional and got the work completed within the time frame given - we praise their efforts given the time of year.
We will be using Gibson Family Pools for our future property and we highly recommend them above any other local pool installation company.
Richard and Sheryl, Tamworth
We are really happy with our new pool. Jayson was able to give us great suggestions on how the pool would work best with our house and yard and the travertine tiling around the pool looks fantastic. The entire team were easy to work with and went out of their way to please us.
A friend suggested that we contact Jayson and Katwin when we were considering a pool and in turn we have had no hesitation in recommending Gibson Family Pools to our friends. Thank you very much for a great result at a much better price than other quotes we received.
Robert Wright, Tamworth
I just wanted to take the opportunity to say a big thank you to Jayson and your company for everything that you have done over the last 12 months in the design and implementation of our pool and surrounds. Jayson has been awesome, I like his casual attitude and approach ability, but professional approach to getting the job done. The time he spent with us was invaluable in getting our ideas into reality. The pool has made a massive difference to our lives already, and it is not even summer yet!
Alan and Annette Bradford, Forster
Thank you Jayson, Katwin and staff of Gibson Family Pools for your totally professional and efficient installation of our new pool. From our first enquiry to the clean up on completion we could not have asked for anything better.
We have previously had three pools installed by big name companies who find extras almost every day and don’t turn up when promised. It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with your company and having your staff on site.
Rod and Naomi Miller, Port Macquarie
We have nothing but praise for Gibson Family Pools. We shopped around and couldn't fault their service from the very first email, very first site visit, install and finally through to the after sales service.
When the pool was finished you couldn't even tell that large machinery had been used to install the pool, so neat was the installation process. We changed our mind a few times regarding the concrete layout, all changes were accommodated without fuss. Our funds were limited so Katwin and Jayson worked to our budget.
Rob and Tane Power, Port Macquarie
Just a quick note of thanks for our fantastic new pool. We found the experience to be painless and trouble free. Jayson went out of his way to source a pool that met our requirements and worked with us throughout the whole design and installation process.
The new pool area looks great, everything is functioning as it should and I would recommend Gibson Family Pools to anyone considering a new pool.
Lindsay and Bree Moller, Port Macquarie
I just wanted to thank you for our amazing new pool and spa. Choosing the Brooklyn design was the best thing we ever did. The kids just love jumping from the spa to the pool, then wading area and back again. It's like having 3 pools in one. They could honestly do it for hours on end. The hard part is getting them out by the end of the day. The Connect 10 setup with heat pump has been fantastic. We can heat the spa to 37 degrees in just 2-3 hours. I never thought it would be so quick. AMAZING!
Thanks again to everyone who worked on it, especially Jayson and his team.
