Grew up with one. If I didn’t open it/maintain it, it didn’t get filled. Fucking endless. Dead squirrels, ducks, yard debris. The worst was the sap that would fall from the large blue spruce and stick to the walls of the pool. Every week you are water testing, skimming, vacuuming, backwashing... ugh. Unless you can afford someone else to do all that shit, I’d say get a membership at a pool for kids and just enjoy life. Could be different for an indoor pool though, wouldn’t want the humidity risk/mold potential though...
