Pools and kids go together like strawberries and cream My girls are never out of ours

Our pool is half olympic size (however big that is!) We cover it with a solar blanket, which in this heat, warms the water quite well (81 degrees yesterday) having it made shallower at the deep end has helped a lot too

In the winter the water is heated and we cover it with another blanket which stops leaves etc, getting into the water.

Ohh Lucky kids!!! I want to come visit and WOW what a garden you lucky ,lucky thing.. thats the only thing I don't like about my house, the garden is too small
I got a 10ft pool this year and I love it .. got to get a bigger one for next year ! I've been looking at the ovals

At the risk of being cheeky are you selling the 15ft pool/listing on ebay ??

Glad to hear the pool is still getting it's full use

I'm going to keep looking, but I don't think I'll find one cheaper than the £199
