I don't know what is considered a safe depth to dive or jump into.. but I know for sure 4 feet ain't it... You cannonball into a four foot deep pool you're likely to do some damage to your back when your butt strikes the bottom of the pool..

and I would NEVER dive head first into a pool less then 8 feet..


I do hope you enjoy your pool.. nothing nicer then basking in a pool under the stars after a 100 degree day..

But what I was trying to tell you, Kayak started at 23K, and if you agreed they would have GLADLY built you a pool for 23K.. where you can get an inground with an 8 - 10 foot deep end, 16 X 32 for 14K...

Everyone has their preferences, and buy things for different reasons, I was just trying to point out that I've been there done that, and if I did it again, I'd do it differently.

Not everyone needs to cannon ball into their pool.

Personally, I'd prefer a shallow pool that encourages tranguility.

And in our case, we don't want a permanent fixture. If we decide to move, we want the option of taking it with us or leaving it to the buyers. And you're right - what works for us won't necessarily work for Joe Schmoe, but it is an option.

You should still come to our pool party, even if you don't like the pool. :flowers:

Tranguility? Is that when you feel bad for wanting peace and quiet alone in the pool?

I hate that shiat. We have one of those big blow up the ring and fill with water vinyl pools and they drive me nuts with the splashing. Then I sound like a big :dork: yelling "stop splashing me". :lol:

And that, my dear, is why I have a one-person pool and won't let anybody else in. Why they call it the Family Fun Center, I have no idea. Ain't nobody getting their skin in my pool.

I don't believe you. He cut the grass yesterday and I guess he was hot afterwards because I saw him running through the sprinkler with his Speedo on. I didn't see any wooly hair; not even on his legs. :rolleyes:

What happened to the HOT weather? It is perfect outside with temps in the 70's and low humidity... Perfect Vette day and I'm working... :ohwell:

Does Kayak offer and/or recommend heaters to extend the pool season? Seems to me that an above ground pool would be more susceptible to temperature changes?

I'm sure they do, but we didn't ask. :lol:
