We finally have a pool. The hubby and I had planned on saving and getting an inground pool but decided to go with an above ground pool instead! My kids LOVE IT. I think this could be money very well spent. I tell them get chores done and we will go swimming and suddenly chores are done. It's like a miracle. Any fun pool games you enjoy? Or other must have items to keep kids busy?

There was 8 of us kids and our parents bought an above ground pool. What joy we had in it. They started out with a 2 foot deep pool cause so many of the kids were quite young. Then they went to a 4 foot pool. Dad dug down where the center of the pool would be and made it 5 foot. I hope you and your family enjoys your pool like we did

Ours is 4.5ft deep. My oldest 2 swim well. My younger 2 are still learning. We always swam as kids. I find it a good way to keep mine active instead of being on electronics.

@velvet53 kids today dont exercise or interact as much as they should. This should be a way to do more of both.

@babykeka80 I agree with you about the electronics. Swimming is fun and people get exercise.I love to swim but don't get to do it as much as I wanrt to. Enjoy every minute in your pool. It was a good investment.

I was born and raised around water. We had to learn to swim young.

I have 4 kids between the ages of 3 and 13. I think we will get our money's worth out of it over the years. I enjoy it too.

I grew up with a pool and really missed having one. It is so hot here you almost have to be in water to be outside.

Thank you. No clue why the picture shows up sideways. We are very happy with it.
