Hey there. I am a person who has been re learning how to swim after having surgeries to close wholes in my ears. You may not know it, but a pool like this is a great training ground for getting used to cold water. Splashing around, blowing bubbles, practicing kicking, and floating on rafts. I've even been in it when we've had heavy rain, which is rare here in California. Don't worry, I have friends who have a reservoir that I can get into for actually learning how to swim. The pool that we had wasn't a salt water one.

@@StreetersGarage thanks. I’m completely blind, so I depend on my hearing. The reason I’ve had so many surgeries, is because of my tubes falling out many years ago. The holes didn’t get fixed for 13 years, so I wasn’t able to swim because water would get past the eardrum where it’s not supposed to. I had the first surgeries in 2015. In 2020, another hole was created in my left eardrum due to an infection. I had the surgery at UCLA, and everything is fine now.

Hi, I ended up on your channel and specifically this video because I am planning on adding a pool to my backyard fun. "Problem" is, I'm in Wyoming, so my pool will need special care :D You mentioned you are from the Northeast and had no problem leaving your pool up last winter: where are you and how low does it get in winter there?

About the skimmer. Do you need to plug it into a second out port? So do you have 3 hole ports in your pool? One for the water coming in, one for water going out and one dedicated to the surface skimmer?

Any tips on how to set it up? Depending on size it would cost 2-5K to prepare the ground, digging down 1.5-2 feet, filling with gravel, compacting, and laying stones. So the prep work ends up costing 2-3 the cost of the pool….

every site is different. However this type of pool doesn't require anything special for the base. The ground needs to be flat and with no sharp objects. A sand base would be ideal, however for most people, they're not going to invest that much time and effort into a "temporary" pool.
