Embracing the Approaching Swimming Season
Most of my job picks up in popularity around the spring and summer seasons. There’s more people swimming, so there’s more need of a contractor to come in to help out with pools. I’ve been working on installing, and maintaining all types of pools ever since I was a lifeguard at my local swimming pool. When it’s not busy throughout the rest of the year, I’ve had to work other types of construction, and contractor positions, but this is definitely my favorite time of year to be in business. There are some people that ask for assistance on help with their indoor pools throughout the colder seasons of the year, but spring, and summer keep my phone ringing off the hook.
During the rest of the year, I can usually find some jobs helping keep indoor pools running smoothly. There’s always a community center that needs help with their pump, or pool filter. However, sometimes the community center is not close to my neighborhood, so I usually have to drive more for my work during the off seasons. I don’t mind the driving, as long as the work is available. I’m glad to be of service helping keep community pools running with top of the line pumps, and filters.
It helps to keep an open mind when you work as a contractor, or in the construction business. Keeping an open mind will save you from starving, or worrying about where the next paycheck is coming from. Many of my jobs pay handsomely, yet during the off season it sometimes seems like my work will be running low. I’ve had to ask around for anyone hiring a contractor in the past, and there are some perks to being able to use a smart phone because there are some helpful apps that have put me in touch with contractor jobs in the past.
The spring, and summer months are my favorite because I like to see people getting excited about being outside in their pools. I’ve been researching several pool pumps gold coast to see which types of pumps I’ll be working with this year. I want to know how these pumps work before I have to help fix one this summer. Knowing the newer types of pumps, and filters makes me look professional in front of new clients. Looking like I know what I am doing helps me find more jobs throughout the summer, and throughout the off season.
The best perk to working with swimming pools is how relaxing the atmosphere can be. It’s nice to sit by a pool to relax, right? Well, it’s calming to work near a swimming pool as well. Something about the clear water makes me feel lighter. I leave the job filled with natural energy. I feel buoyant, like I could float away in the clouds on my drive home. I haven’t worked any other contractor, or construction jobs that give me those feelings, so I’m pretty excited to embrace the approaching swimming pool season.
