are also therapeutic and beneficial - swimming is one of the best ways to gain
all round exercise. The pool may be the focal point of a garden surrounded by
exotic planting and landscaping, or an entertainment area with barbecues or
chill-cabinet cocktail bars. It can be a place where a single person may unwind
or an area around which friends and family party, all age groups enjoy the
pleasure of poolside hospitality. In the book we look at pools indoors and out,
and study shape, size and form which will reveal how big doesn't always mean
better. The book also covers the most innovative finishes and latest decorative
techniques as well as finding inspiration in period and classic styles. Being
by water is claiming and revitalising so if you aren't close by a lake or
seashore, why not bring the water to where you are.
