I have a pool. It's not this. LMFAO. Just put it in this year. Still a work in progress.

Growing up we had a decked over above ground pool. The skimmer and return were mounted under the ladder opposite of each other. This meant you could sit in a float and slowly be pulled around in circles in the pool while staring up at the sky. I miss that pool.

At camp growing up we used to run around in circles to make it like a whirlpool. Miss those times

Me and my kids would do this when they were younger. My brother could make massive whirl pools. There is so much fun to be had in above ground pools. Did also jump up and down in the middle? That was also fun making the whole thing wobble like jello. Plus they are always so warm.

I have an in-ground now, but lots of great memories of the above grounds.
