[quote=FlyerInHi]I feel for you scaredy. I used to have to deal with a pool.
Unless you are willing to pay whatever it takes for someone else to take care of your pool, it’s not worth having one.[/quote]I’ve had backyard pools as well and yes, they are a source of constant maintenance and can be a $$$ drain over the years in parts, maintenance and utilities. I prefer the Y where, for $40 month, an olympic sized pool and 20-person jacuzzi is maintained (and preheated) FOR me, in addition to having access to circuit training and a multitude of classes.
