Swimming pools are risky if you have children below 7 years of age or if any member of your family is handicapped or unable to swim efficiently. Many cases of drowning leading to injuries and death are coming to surface in Australia. The costs incurred in case of submersion takes the form of a huge medical bill.

Moreover, the costs of installation and maintenance are quite high as well. The durability of a pool, whether it is made of concrete, fiberglass or vinyl line, depends purely upon the extent to which it is used, the quality of the materials used and how well it is maintained. A strict chemical balance has to be maintained in the water.
