Advancements In Swimming Pool Design And Construction
Swimming pools have been with us since Greco-Roman times. The ancient Greeks and Romans built and used them for athletic training, nautical games, military exercises, and other such purposes we might call commercial today. The Roman lord Gaius Maecenas is believed to have built the first heated swimming pool in the first century B.C., and the first popular pools are thought to have appeared in Great Britain in the early-to-mid 19th century.
