No Swimming Pool ? This Will Do

It’s summer here in the Philippines , so most people specially the kids would like to take a dip in a pool or at the sea .
But if you don’t have a pool at home , you can still have your kids take a dip . Through an inflatable pool !
My father when he still have his left lower leg and younger , used to have a dip on it , after my nephews and my daughter have finished taking their almost 3 hours dip on it .
He would just simply have it filled with new water and he would be there for an hour or two until the sun has set already .
And just last Saturday , when I went to my parents house I saw my two nieces and the grandson of my sister having fun , swimming in the inflatable pool , at one side of the lawn as you can see in the picture .
It reminds me of our daughter and her cousins when they were still kids .
It’s a cheap way for the children to have fun without having to go far from home .

my brother brought home an inflatable pool for my son (he was still an infant that time), and i, my mother (+) and sister would dip ourselves at night, and it was a cool refreshing night for us.
it is still here, but with the hot water from the faucet, i don't think we have tio take a dip frrom this 2 feet shallow inflatable pool for now

@SIMPLYD the pool is now hidden and kept hidden now, because we cannot afford to take a dip anymore. our water supply is scarce now, owing to this dry season and drought as well.

@jobelbojel Wow, really ! Oh that is so nice .
we also get to bathe in a lake , when my father would take us together with his friends to a forest like place. The water is so clear and cool . We love it . They would grill fish for our lunch .

@SIMPLYD When I was a kid, I just go to the river and swim. We don't need swimming pool.

It seems a good idea to enjoy swimming in the make shift pool. Children love to play with water and they do not want to come out of such kind of swimming pool.

I haven't seen such an inflatable pool here. Kids surely enjoy themselves very much in this pool .

@changjiangzhibin89 Oh so that's why . Good for you all there , no need for it . 
But the children weren't able to experience the fun of swimming with cousins and friends in their childhood .

I always love to go swimming.
After reading this discussion, it gives me idea to buy an inflatable swimming pool too. I hope are water bills will not be affected with frequent fun.

@zaga_cleuth Correct , And you can use it over and over again , though the water should always be new each time you return for a dip.

Well, the water costs less than going to a place where you will pay every time you go to a resort where there is pool.
And you can just stay in the water at your heart's content .

@SIMPLYD ha ha.. a thumbs up for that. Thinkin of the entrance, the food , the transpo or gas. Inflatable pool is way better. ha ha

Well, this could be a nice idea when you already have a child. They have wider and bigger ones of this , that an adult can sit and enjoy the water .

Yes kiddie pools are a great thing in the hot weather. We have gotten our children those plenty of times-it helped a lot. =)

See, this inflatable pool can make us feel like we have a swimming pool . At least , we can take a dip even at night .
And you are right , after the swimming we really sleep so fitfully .

So you too got to swim in the river.
Our father together with his barkada would take us to the river where we swim for the whole day.
They would be also fishing and add those caught to the brought fishes for grilling . During those times , inflatables aren't the fad yet because me and my siblings weren't able to experience it .
