Hi everyone,
My name is Dean. After several moves around the country, my family and I have settled in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and we decided to put in a brand new (albeit small) fibreglass pool in our backyard last year (wasn't completed until the Fall so, essentially, this is our first swimming season with the pool). So far so good, but I am admittedly brand new to - and totally unfamiliar with - pool ownership, hence my decision to join TFP.
In addition to introducing myself, I would like to send a huge THANK YOU to all of those at TFP who are responsible for uploading/contributing such great content. I have already read every single Pool School article word-for-word while taking detailed notes, and I have skimmed some of the forums to get a feel for the information that is now at my fingertips. Needless to say, it is quite impressive. So, again, thank you to everyone who created and maintains this fantastic website!
I must admit that I am still fairly overwhelmed with the steep learning curve ahead of me and the amount of knowledge that I must absorb, but I am equally reassured that this website will be incredibly helpful in my pool ownership journey. I also trust that I will grow increasingly more comfortable over time, and I hope that one day I will become sufficiently knowledgeable that I can return the favour by offering advice to others who find themselves in my current situation.
I do have a few burning questions that I will post separately in other forums but, for now, I just wanted to say "Hi" and "Thank you" to the TFP crew. I am looking forward to collaborating with everyone.
Kind regards,
Dean
