Your in ground or above ground pool may already be equipped with a set of pool steps or a pool ladder, but providing swimmers with an alternate exit and entry point is something to consider. As a matter of convenience, an extra set of pool steps or an extra pool ladder allows swimmers the freedom to exit the pool easily, even if they are at the other end of the pool from the main exit. As a matter of safety, the additional set of steps or ladder can serve as a fast way to escape the water should a storm roll in quickly. The easier it is for swimmers to get in or out of your pool, the better.
