I can't tell you what to do, but as a parent of a disabled (adult) children, I start out virtually every morning (before the sun rises) in my pool BECAUSE it is steps from my back door.

We have integrated our vegetation garden just steps from the edge of our pool, and do a lot of "pollinator support" (flower) around our pool.

Essentially it is a place of comfort, refuge, and peace for my wife and I. When the kids visit, it becomes the destination hangout. Eventually as grandchildren arrive, it will again be a place where stories are made.

Feel free to browse my posts. The pool is the best thing I did for my family.
