A thread about pools

[fjp999]

WTF?Our normal pools aren't usually extravagant but just "normal".I'm middle class and we have a pool at my parents,I have a pic of it somewhere.Do you have a pool?Just how popular are pools with you Europeans?

I will give my opinion even though you only asked for Euros...

I think it very much depends on land use.

With 80+% of land in Japan being mountainous I cant imagine even the wealthy having a personal pool. Maybe 1% of the very wealthy have personal pools.

I have visited many wealthy homes in San Francisco and it was very rare to find a pool.

Here in Pennsylvania there are many families with pools from the middle to even the lower incomes. They are not usually built in pools but still mostly permanent. Some may have pools that are seasonal which are smaller and often folded up in the off season and packed away until the summer.
