Summer really is the backyard season. Longer days, warm nights, kids in the water, friends dropping by, or that quiet moment when you finally get five minutes to sink into your spa and unwind.
Whether you’ve got a spa, a swim spa, or a swimming pool, getting more enjoyment out of it doesn’t mean spending a fortune or doing anything complicated. Often it’s just a few thoughtful tweaks that turn everyday use into something a bit special.
Here are some of our favourite simple ways to elevate your pool and spa experience this summer.
Spas: Make your downtime feel like a mini escape
Your spa is your little retreat at home, so why not lean into that feeling?
Add a touch of aromatherapy
A good spa scent can completely change the experience. Products like InSPAration or BioGuard Velvet are both skin safe and designed for spas, so you can enjoy calming scents like lavender or eucalyptus without worrying about your water quality.
It’s such an easy upgrade, and it instantly makes every soak feel that much more relaxing.
Create a relaxed vibe
Soft lighting, gentle music, and a comfy place to pop your drink make a huge difference. Solar lights around the spa or waterproof Bluetooth speakers nearby can turn an ordinary soak into something really special, especially in the evenings.
Use your hydrotherapy properly
If you’ve got sore shoulders, tight calves, or a cranky lower back, adjusting your jets to target different muscle groups can be a game changer. Five minutes of targeted jet therapy can leave you feeling like you’ve just had a massage.
Swim Spas & Plunge Pools: Fitness mixed with fun
Swim spas and plunge pools are great because they’re both practical and social.
Play with temperature
Going cooler for exercise and warmer for recovery or relaxation can totally change how you use your swim spa. The flexibility gives you the best of both worlds in one space.
Make it a social zone
Swim spas and plunge pools are brilliant for entertaining. Whether it’s simple pool games, floating chats, or kids splashing around while adults relax nearby, they naturally draw everyone together.
Stay on top of maintenance
Clean water equals worry-free fun. A quick regular clean and simple water balancing routine means you spend more time enjoying your swim spa instead of stressing about it.
Swimming Pools: Not just for swimming
Pools are more than exercise. They’re where memories get made.
Set up comfort around the pool
Outdoor lounges, umbrellas, or even a shaded chair by the water invite you to stay out longer. A few well-placed pieces of furniture make the pool feel like a real living space, not just something to swim in.
Bring in the fun
A volleyball net, basketball hoop, or a few floating games turn an everyday swim into spontaneous family entertainment. You’ll be surprised how often this becomes the highlight of the week.
Keep water sparkling
Nothing beats swimming in crystal-clear water. Regular testing and quality chemicals keep your pool looking beautiful and safe for everyone. And once you get into a rhythm, it becomes quick and easy.
It’s the little things that make the difference
Your pool or spa is already a huge lifestyle upgrade. These small changes just help you get even more enjoyment from what you’ve already invested in.
A nicer soak.
More spontaneous backyard catch-ups.
Kids wanting to live outside instead of inside.
And simple routines that keep everything running smoothly.
