When loving your pool is a win-win

What began as a light-hearted ‘Easter Staycation’ website promotion in February this year quickly became a two month long ‘Love Your Pool’ competition hosted by SPASAVIC in collaboration with Lo-Chlor. Victorian backyard pool and spa owners responded positively as the world went into lockdown due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

While promoting the concept of a ‘staycation’ versus a real ‘vacation’ over the Easter period, the SPASAVIC collaboration with Lo-Chlor Chemicals resulted in a competition offering one lucky Victorian pool or spa owner a year’s free supply of swimming pool chemicals.

As entries flooded in, images of Victorian families enjoying their backyard pool during isolation were shared far and wide on social media.

With heart-warming competition entry statements such as, “Our pool has been the centre of great family gatherings for over 25 years” and “God, we just love our pool”, it reinforced the lifestyle benefits and fantastic family value of backyard pool and spa ownership. The final prize was awarded to a Yallambie family, whose 6-year-old insisted on a pool party for her birthday in March this year. Their pool had only just been installed, but she was desperate to celebrate in and around it, despite the weather being only 17 degrees. “She just couldn’t wait”, the girl’s mother said. “We hadn’t even landscaped around the pool – but the pool party went ahead and they all had a ball!”.

This family will now be enjoying their backyard pool more than ever over the next twelve months, with a year’s worth of free pool chemicals, thanks to Lo-Chlor Chemicals.

SPASAVIC would like to thank all who entered our ‘Love Your Pool’ competition and especially Lo-Chlor Chemicals for their support and generosity.

If you’re considering getting a backyard pool or spa, make sure you choose a SPASAVIC member.
