Fall may be in full swing, but we’re still thinking about lazy days of poolside lounging — ideally with a cocktail or two in hand. And, even though they’ve become an icon of wealth and luxury that reflect the latestSwimming pools originally became popular in the United States during the mid- to late-19th century at a time when most residences did not have bathrooms.
