About

Hello there, swimmers, sun bathers, and backyard enthusiasts!

My name is Kris, and welcome to my little oasis on the web - a place where water meets words and your swimming pool queries find their answers.

I live in the Northeast US, where it's often said, if you threw a stone in any direction, you’d hit a swimming pool! So you could say my splashy relationship with backyard lagoons started young and never dried up.

Like many of you, I have fond childhood memories of cold lemonades by the pool, raucous games of Marco Polo, and swimming under the night sky. As I grew older, this intrinsic connection with the water permuted into a love for all things connected to swimming pools. Chemistry, maintenance, design, lifeguard hacks - you name it, I've dived into it!

My mission is to break down complex pool jargon and transform it into easy, practical tips anyone can follow - whether you’re planning your first pool, or you're a seasoned pool owner ready to tackle your next DIY. I'll share trends, troubleshooting advice, and my personal experiences (because believe me, I've had a few chlorine-green-hair incidents that could've been avoided!).

When I'm not found near a pool or my laptop, you’d probably see me exploring new hiking trails, experimenting in the kitchen (of course, my favorite ice tray is shaped like a rubber ducky), or planning my next beach vacation.

Just like a good swimming session, this blog is refreshing, relaxing, and liberating. So, don't just dip your toes in. Jump in, the water's fine!

Enjoy the swim, folks!
