Swimming Pool Slides for In-Ground Pools

Make a splash this summer by enhancing your in-ground swimming pool with a super-fun pool slide. In-ground swimming pool slides provide an easy way to bring the thrills and excitement of a water park right to your very own backyard so you can make the most of your pool all season long. With rushing water and twists and turns, swimming pool slides offer great fun for the entire family. With a wide variety of styles and designs to choose from, you can easily find a pool slide that will provide the exact type of sliding excitement that you're looking for. Simply by adding a slide to your in-ground swimming pool, you can make your pool the most popular one in the neighborhood and can enjoy endless hours of sliding fun with friends and family.

When you're looking for the perfect slide for your in-ground swimming pool, you will have many different options to weigh and consider. There are numerous different models of in-ground swimming pool slides that have been designed and constructed by many different manufacturers. One of the main variables between these different models is the slide height. Pool slides for in-ground swimming pools are available in many different heights, with the majority of slides standing somewhere between three feet high and eight feet high. The height that you choose will typically depend upon the age of your swimmers and the speed of sliding that you want your swimmers to enjoy. Once you know the approximate height you want, you will have narrowed down your options, making your ultimate choice easier.

The second main way that various models of in-ground pool slides differ from each other is in the shape and design of the actual slide component. The standard shape of in-ground swimming pool slides features a gentle curve, sometimes with a slight twist at the top or bottom. However, there are also in-ground swimming pool slides available with more twists and turns and with 360 degree corkscrew designs. When combined with a fast water delivery system, such as the Zoom Flume water delivery system which provides water flow at 35 gallons per minute, these pool slides can truly mimic the speed and thrills of water park slides.

The various available models of pool slides for in-ground swimming pools also provide you with the option of choosing between built-in swimming pool slides and inflatable pool slides. If you want your new slide to be a permanent fixture of your swimming pool, investing in a built in slide is the way to go. On the other hand, if you're looking for a less permanent or simply a more economical option, inflatable swimming pool slides provide an excellent way to add some water slide fun to your pool without any installation and without the higher cost of built-in pool slides for in-ground swimming pools.

Inflatable pool slides are also one of the best options for young swimmers. These pool slides typically only stand two or three feet above the pool deck, the perfect height for young children. Inflatable swimming pool slides typically use a standard garden hose to provide the water flow and are constructed from durable vinyl so they can withstand energetic play season after season.

If you have young swimmers in your family but would like to install a built-in slide, there are also permanent in-ground pool slides that are ideal for such circumstances. For example, some pool slides for in-ground swimming pools stand only three or four feet off the ground and feature a gently curving slide with high sides for extra safety. Some specific slides that meet these criteria include the Cyclone Fun Pool Slide and the Zoomerang Pool Slide. These pool slides will allow your youngsters to enjoy the thrills of fast sliding action at a level that is fully safe and appropriate for them.

With so many different types and styles of swimming pool slides available for in-ground pools, you will have a great selection of top quality choices. Whether you're looking for a standard design, a thrilling corkscrew design or a slide that is ideal for youngsters, you can find exactly the right slide for you and your pool. Perhaps best of all, the many different models of in-ground swimming pool slides cover a range of different prices, allowing pool owners with many different budgets to be able to enjoy the excitement and adventure of swimming and sliding. So no matter what your budget and preferences might be, forget long lines and entry fees this summer. Instead, bring the spirited fun and excitement of a water park right to your home with a swimming pool slide and make a splash with your entire family and your entire neighborhood.

Of Woodland Pools, Spring-Holes and Ditches $25 Henry David Thoreau has long been revered for his writings and observations on the natural world. His words evoke his environment with stunning clarity as well as his own innate sense of wonder. His journal, from which the text of Of Woodland Pools, Spring-Holes and Ditches is drawn, shares these strengths, providing an intimate view of Thoreau’s day-to-day existence. The selected excerpts are pulled from the months of March, April, and May, and all pertain to what are now called vernal pools — temporary pools of water, free of fish, at their peak in the spring, and the breeding ground for numerous creatures. In this volume, Thoreau’s words are accompanied by 28 engravings by artist Abigail Rorer. The delicacy and detail of these engravings make them the perfect companion to Thoreau’s words, adding another layer of beauty to his observations. Each engraving is a work of art in and of itself, enriched by the text and Thoreau’s visionary descriptions. The engravings are based on the woods and vernal pools explored by Thoreau, lending them undeniable authenticity. Thoreau once proclaimed, “I have an appointment with spring.” Through his words and Rorer’s art, so too does the reader.

Howard has been clinging onto a family life he hardly expected to have. There's Joanna, the teen queen of nowheresville. She's been looking for a way out, escape from her parents' broken marriage. She thought Rob might take her away from all this, but lately she's started to think Rob might have other plans. And then there's Shane, with the big hands and the fixation on Joanna.
