You Can Swim In and Swim Out

 
When I was a kid in Houston Texas my parents had a friend
who had a house with one of these 'swim in swim out' swimming pools.
All these years later I still think of them.
I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
I have searched the blogasphere far and wide 
and could never find any of these fabulous swimming pools.
I think it was because I didn't know what search word to use.
I tried everything.
I have wanted to post about this forever.
And finally I was searching for something else and found this particular pool in Elle Decor
And finally.........
here we go.
The clearest and easiest example for you to see is the one above.

See the gate that will drop down to below the water line?



The one I swam in was like the pool above.
Do you see the glass floor that you must swim under and through to get to the outside? 
There are very clever ways in which the can connect the exterior pool to the inside.
I can see a Criminal Minds episode based on one of these pools.
The killer swims in to the house in the middle of the night.....
you know the rest.
I think I would want one.
As long as the water was filter with that pool filter that uses no chlorine
and makes the water like spring water.

I do remember the smell of chlorine in the house from the indoor portion of the pool.
That is just not acceptable to me.

What is your take on these Swim In Swim Out Pool????
Would you consider having one?

Just imagine how it would be if each of us,

If only for a few hours of everyday,We could be in a space that is our very own.A place that is exactly the way we want it to be

Surrounded by all the things we wanted to see,

The atmosphere we wanted feel, smell and the sound we wanted to listen to.
