Is this the year you own a swimming pool or hot tub?

June 20, 2011 - PRLog -- If the summer of 2011 is going to be as good as they say it is, then this might be the year you should seriously think about having your own swimming pool or hot tub.

It’s more within your reach than you think. That’s the message from What Pool & Hot Tub magazine, the UK’s only complete guide for choosing a pool, hot tub or sauna, which launches its 2011 edition this week.

The tougher financial climate has made more people opt to invest in their home rather than contemplate moving – and adding a swimming pool or luxury hot tub has become a realistic option.

The last 12 months has shown a significant increase in the number of people interested in buying wet leisure products for the home. But it's not just swimming pools – high quality, high tech hot tubs which are wonderfully relaxing and therapeutic while easy to run and maintain, are in demand as are ever more popular swim spas, wet rooms, steam rooms and saunas.

What Pool & Hot Tub aims to answer all the questions prospective owners may have. The magazine is a comprehensive guide of what to buy and where, ideas and options to get you started and how to realise the dream of owning a pool or hot tub.

Alan Lewis, editor of What Pool & Hot Tub explains: “Perhaps because of the recession, people are looking to bring a little luxury to their home, and a pool, hot tub, sauna or steam room is an ideal way to do this. For many people, it is still a very practical and exciting option. In the UK we are now producing some of the most glamorous and value for money swimming pools anywhere in the world and the magazine is very much a celebration of what is out there on the market, much of it undiscovered by many people.”

What Pool & Hot Tub magazine is available nationwide in Sainsbury’s from 12 May (for £4.99) and is also available via a free to read digital edition which can be found on the website. The magazine will also be available via iTunes for iPads, iPhones and iPods.

There's also the chance to win a Coast Spas 'Tahiti' hot tub worth £5,995 and for a limited time, UK consumers can sign up to receive a free copy delivered directly to their door.
