Saltwater Pools at Felix’s Swim Schools

A Better, Safer Swimming Experience

At Felix’s Swim Schools, we take pride in offering a superior swimming experience by using saltwater pools at select locations across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Unlike traditional chlorine pools, saltwater pools use a natural process called electrolysis to convert salt into a mild form of chlorine. This keeps the water clean and safe while providing a gentler and more enjoyable environment for swimmers of all ages.

Why Choose a Saltwater Pool?

1. Gentle on Skin & Eyes 👀

Traditional pools often contain high levels of chlorine, which can cause irritation, dryness, and redness in the eyes. Saltwater pools naturally generate chlorine at lower concentrations, making them softer on the skin and eyes, especially for young swimmers and those with sensitive skin.

2. Comfortable & Smooth Water Feel 💧

Saltwater pools provide a more natural and refreshing swimming experience. The water feels silky and smooth, reducing that “chemical-heavy” sensation often associated with traditional pools. This helps swimmers feel more relaxed and comfortable in the water.

3. No Harsh Chemical Smell 🚫

Chlorine pools often come with strong chemical odors, which can be unpleasant for swimmers and spectators alike. Saltwater pools produce a much milder chlorine scent, improving air quality around the pool and making the atmosphere more enjoyable.

4. Eco-Friendly & Low Maintenance 🌱

Saltwater pools require fewer chemical additives than traditional pools, making them a more environmentally friendly choice. They also require less frequent maintenance, reducing the need for constant chemical balancing.

📍 Locations with Saltwater Pools:

Some benefits of saltwater pools include:

Softer water: The water in a saltwater pool is typically softer and less irritating to the skin and eyes than the water in a chlorine pool.

Less maintenance: Saltwater pools require less maintenance than chlorine pools, as the salt cell generates the chlorine automatically.

Environmentally friendly: Saltwater pools do not produce the strong chemical smell associated with chlorine pools, and the water does not leave a residue on the skin or hair.

Cost-effective: In the long run, saltwater pools are cost-effective as they eliminate the need to purchase and store chlorine.

Lower chlorine levels: The levels of chlorine in a saltwater pool are generally lower than in a chlorine pool, which can reduce the risk of skin and eye irritation and other chlorine-related health problems.

It is worth noting that a saltwater pool requires some maintenance, like replacing the cell and salt level monitoring. Also, not all saltwater pools are the same; some have a higher salt level than others, which might impact the longevity of the pool equipment.
