A study conducted by the American Journal of Cardiology has found swimming aids in reduciing blood pressure and improved artery health for the elderly, reported Wall Stree Journal.

Since swimming does not put as much strain on the body as other exercises, the benefits are not limited to just cardiovascular. The study sample included Austin residents ranging from age 50 to 80 years.

Results showed lower systolic blood pressure in the group that participated in the experiment.

Pools Open Under Hazardous Conditions

Pools throughout Texas can be hazardous if left open to the public. Drowning, as a result of unlocked doors and gates, was one of the many causes of children’s deaths in 2011.

Additionally, municipal health inspectors are not enforcing any safety standards or state requirements, such as opening the pool when it is raining outside or leaving gates unlocked.

According to Mike Baker, president of the Corpus Christi Chapter of the Independent Pool & Spa Service Association, often times, tenants often pressure pool operators to keep the pool open despite the rules.

It is recommended that when owning a pool, one takes the safest procedures possible in order to prevent any tragedies.

Texas Drought

Swimming pool installations are predicted to gain popularity in 2012. New restrictions might be imposed this year that will stall all new construction and renovations in Texas due to the droughts in Texas.

The possibility of declaring a statewide drought is a result of the volume decrease of the reservoirs and lakes. The decrease is at 50 percent.

Declaring a Stage 4 drought would limit the number of permits for private pools and spas. Approval would depend on the location and whether there are water conservation ordinances in place to prevent any additional strain to the environmental resources.
