Designing the Ultimate Family-Friendly Pool
A family-friendly pool can transform your backyard into a paradise for kids, providing endless hours of fun and memorable moments. At Pools of Fun, we specialize in creating pools that cater to the needs and safety of families.
Shallow Play Areas
One key feature of a family-friendly pool is a shallow play area. These sections are perfect for younger children who are not yet strong swimmers, allowing kids to splash around safely and giving parents peace of mind. Consider features like beach entries, where the pool gradually slopes from the deck into deeper water, mimicking a natural shoreline.
Fun Water Toys and Features
Add fun water toys and features to keep kids entertained. Splash pads with sprinklers and fountains provide endless fun for children. A safe and sturdy water slide can be a highlight, offering thrills and excitement. Waterfalls and fountains add a touch of magic and encourage imaginative play. Having a variety of inflatable toys like floaties, rings, and water games can enhance the fun. Visit one of our 5 Pools of Fun Customer Care locations to shop!
Essential Safety Measures
Safety is paramount when designing a pool for families. Install a pool fence with a self-closing, self-latching gate to prevent unsupervised access. Equip your pool with alarms that alert you if someone enters the water unexpectedly. Ensure the pool deck and surrounding areas have non-slip surfaces to prevent accidents. Design the pool area so that it is easily visible from the house or patio, allowing parents to keep an eye on their children at all times.
Comfortable Seating Areas
Create comfortable seating areas around the pool where parents can relax while watching their kids. Lounge chairs, shaded areas, and even poolside cabanas can provide a perfect spot for supervising children and enjoying family time. Keep pool toys and safety equipment organized and easily accessible with poolside storage solutions like storage benches or waterproof storage boxes.
Poolside Snacks and Drinks
Enhance the poolside experience with a dedicated area for snacks and drinks. A small outdoor kitchenette or a portable cooler stocked with healthy snacks and refreshing drinks can keep kids energized and hydrated during playtime.
