What is an Inflatable Swimming Pool?
An inflatable swimming pool is a collapsible portable pool made from synthetic materials, especially vinyl. Vinyl, or polyvinylchloride (PVC), is a type of plastic resin created from ethylene and chlorine. Unlike a permanent in-ground swimming pool, an inflatable swimming pool may be set up during warmer weather and then deflated and stored away at the end of the season. An inflatable swimming pool may be small enough for a baby to sit in or large enough for a big family to lounge in. Baby and toddler sized pools are usually for those three years old and under. Some of these have vinyl sun shades attached to the pool to provide some protection from sunburn. An inflatable swimming pool for older children may have various play features such as sprinklers, an inflatable slide and/or an inflatable basketball and hoop set. Children should always be closely supervised when in the pool or even when they are able to access an inflatable pool and some communities require a safety gate structure
