This is a great time to start thinking about helping your pool and hot tub/spa dealers utilize their co-op funds. I know we are still officially in the early days of Spring, but a little advance planning never hurts. Plus, many parts of the country have their pools and hot tubs open all year round (those lucky folks!).

Here are some “fun facts” about pools and hot tubs. Hopefully, these little tidbits will get your creative juices flowing when helping your customers with their spring/summer advertising campaigns.

Fun Facts

  1. On any given occasion, more than 17,000 people are sitting in a hot tub.
  2. Approximately 26 million hot tubs are in use, right now!
  3. Hot tubs are also known as the “fountain of youth” due to their anti-aging capabilities. Some claim that they can slow down aging by up to 20%.
  4. Soaking in hot water is not just for humans. During the winter months in Japan, snow monkeys bathe in hot springs for up to 5 hours per day!
  5. Sitting in a hot tub for 15 minutes a day, 6 days a week can drop stress levels by 11%.
  6. The biggest swimming pool in the world is 20 acres large (that is the size of 16 football fields)! The pool is in Algarroba, Chile at the San Alfonso del Mar resort and holds 66 million gallons of water.
  7. The most popular accessory or add-on to a pool is a diving board. 38% of pools have diving boards! However, keep in mind you must meet a certain size pool to install one and there are increased insurance expenses for having one.
