One can never be careful when children are playing in pools. We opted for a medium size family pool to either watch or join in the water fun with our grandson. Last summer, he was ready for a larger pool so we got one which allows four adults to fit in. This sure came in handy during the heat of the summer when all the beaches are crowded and the ocean is too far to drive to!

This pool is unique in that it has four built in seats that have backreasts, one in each corner of the pool, that can be used for lounging or watching over your children. There are also two drink holders in case you need a cool drink while basking in the sun. There is also a useful patch kit in case your pool winds up with a hole which ours never did, thank goodness!

I know how we all need to conserve water so we would fill it once a week and keep it covered with a large tarp. the pool itself holds two hundred and two gallons of water. Yes, it is a good amount of water but to be truly conservative, I watered my gardens with the water when we refilled the pool so no water was wasted. My grandson had a blast playing in the pool as did his GG and Poolie. Thanks goodness, he has had swimming lessons since he was a little baby.

This pool is a great investment as the entire family can enjoy it. Mind you, it is not real deep so do not expect to do belly flops or cannon balls in it. This is only for lounging and small children. Save the other maneuvers for the vacation pool or beach!

Great way to be able to cool off without any traveling though!

I like the sounds of this as you can drain it and refill when you want, not like keeping an entire pool filled and having to deal with chemicals. Kudos to you for reusing that water, what a smart cookie you are!!

It sounds like a great pool, especially for the price. We're looking for something for the kids, and it sounds like something like this would fit the bill. Thanks for sharing your experience with it!

This would be great for my daughter while she is little. I worry about having a large pool and this seems perfect for her and me! That is a terrific price. Thanks for the information.

Geri, this does sound like a great little pool! I had not idea that a lounge pool with seats could be had for $35! Did you say how deep the pool is? I am going to have to go back and look... I was wondering if it could be stepped into or if a step was needed, and also if the seats were flat on the ground or elevated a bit.
