With the new pool season upon us, many of you are probably looking forward to opening your pool. While you need to run down the list when it comes to chemicals and water prep, there are some things you can do to add some flair to your pool as well. You should be able to have fun when you own a pool, right?

If you’re looking for ideas, check out these:

Install a rock waterfall. What better way to give your pool a new look than to add a waterfall? Seeing the water cascade down can make you feel as though you’re at a tropical island resort, not your own backyard. Waterfalls are not only relaxing to look at, but the sound of falling water can also block out surrounding noise.

Add exotic landscaping. Besides adding things inside your pool, you can also add items outside your pool for a unique look. Exotic landscaping will make the area around your pool look beautiful and help to create your backyard oasis.

Add a waterslide. Nothing says fun and flare like a waterslide? This is a great addition that will make your pool party even more memorable.  Always remember to keep safety in mind first and have U.S. Coast Guard approved life jackets handy for all of your pool guests.

Add lighting in or around the pool. Lighting can bring a whole other dimension to your pool and patio area. If your pool allows for lighting inside, you can truly transform the look and feel of your pool. If not, adding lights around the pool also brings ambiance and allows for more usage once the sun goes down. Either way, adding lights is a great way to update your pool for the upcoming season.

As you consider all of the fun ways to add flair to your pool this year, don’t compromise safety. Safety around your pool should always be your top priority. You should always keep the area around your pool safe with a sturdy fence and durable lock. This can prevent tragedies when no one is around the pool.
