\Almost 3 years ago a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to help her with a possibility of getting a YMCA in Carroll County. I said,â yes, of course,â and boy has it been a journey! \The addition of the YMCA in Carrollton has truly been great for our community.
Granite is one of the hardest natural stones, which is why pool designers select it when looking for a consistent look that can stand the test of time. Made primarily of quartz, granite is usually dark in color, holds a shine, and repels water.ich in earth-toned colors and textures, this type of stone is ideal for around a pool because it has a non-slip surface, resists moisture and heat, and can withstand constant use. Quarried all over the world, flagstone is low maintenance because of its highly dense makeup and will usually hold up for years.
People don't understand that in a swimming pool you can swim from one wall to the next wall, but the problem is, you can't do that in a quarry, said Jeff Rice. Quarries are one way people are cooling off in this heat, but many do not realize that quarries can be more dangerous than other bodies of water. The waters colder, you can cramp up easier, you'll have problems with swimming from distance because you can't touch the bottom, Rice said.
