With the various options for backyard pools that Dorian Construction Group has to offer, homeowners can tailor their backyard oasis to be pool-party ready all year around! Here are a ideas that will help you throw a backyard pool party in the winter like a champ.

How to Set Up Pools for Winter-Time Parties

First, it is important to have the right pool set up. While swimming pools are great for hosting summer pool parties, hot tubs or spools are much more appropriate for winter parties. A spool is a cross between a swimming pool and a spa, and it can function as a hot tub or a pool depending on the owner’s preference. For hosting year-round, spools are a great addition to any backyard! Chances are that your friends are not going to many pool parties in the winter, so acknowledge that the idea is out of the box. Although some friends may be standoffish on your winter party idea, assure them it’ll be fun and relaxing. 

Encourage your friends to come with a fun loving, adventurous attitude. Make sure they know about the hot tub! Your party will be different and fun, and it will stand out. And who can forget about the food? Instead of barbecue, watermelon, and lemonade, consider a more winterized menu. Hot chocolate or frozen hot chocolate are great options for beverages, and a ham and cheese board is a wintery, sophisticated spin on traditional summer appetizers. There are some party classics that are always good to have, of course. Chips, salsa, and guacamole are appropriate whatever the season!

Some More Winterized Pool Party Tips

It is a kind courtesy to provide towels for guests, and keeping towels warm is a nice touch for winter pool parties. By placing the towels near a space heater or keeping them inside, you ensure that they will be warm and cozy when your guests are finally ready to get out of the pools. Games are also a great addition to any party! If you are planning a winter pool party, it may be a good idea to have some indoor games planned as well – just in case!
