If I lean my arms over the side while in the pool will it push down and pour out the water, or will the top support some of my weight?

If you lean back on the pool side and just lay your arms along the top, no it will not push down. However, if you put a lot of weight on the top, in other words, try to expel some water, then yes, the water will spill out (depending, of course, on how close to the top your waterline is.

My 7 year old would dump gallons of water out leaning on the side. Doesn't support much weight at all.

If you 'push down' it will pour out water. If you are sitting in a chair outside of the pool and rest your ankles on the side of the pool, it will dip down almost to the point of over flowing. You can rest your head on it while in the pool and let your body float without it overflowing. You can rest your arms on the sides while in the pool but not pressing down very hard. Make sure the ground is level!!

I can sit in mine and put my back against the side lean my head back and drape arms over the top rim wich is filled with air. However it is very easy for a young child to lean on and pour out the water. if my dog puts her paws up on the edge and it will give way...That said I love the pool and purchased the filter motor also, best 40 bucks spent EVER.

yes...carefully lay it over the pool...put weights on the parts that extend over the sides and then carefully cut away the excess

I think it should do about 1/2 or little more than the area. It's pretty cool just as a fountain. I ended up flating it in my pool.

It does not seem that it would do that...but I did support it from the ceiling in the center since I will not be retracting it....heavy wet jeans tend to make it sag a bit, so the support helps a great deal.

When I stacked 3 high (in the center of my counter with no support on any side) the tower felt a bit tippy. The bottom one was flexing a bit and the top of the tower was swaying more than I'd like. It seemed to bear the weight well, though. I don't know if I'd go 4 high unless the containers had support on 2 opposite sides to stop the bottom container from bulging out from all of the weight. I decided to stack my 4 AquaPaks in two stacks of two.

No to both questions. The arm rest stays put, and at least for my husband, at a very comfortable height. He doesn't put tons in the cooler, maybe a couple bottles of water and a soda, so if you put lots and lots in, it may be different. But we are very happy with it, and since we live 2 miles from the beach, it gets lots of use.

I have water in mine, and a good, solid wind up, full force punch (I'm male 5'8, 185 pounds) will rock it back and forth almost on it's end but not tip over - I would recommend sand - again, depending on size and strength regardless of what you put in it, it will rock back and forth. Hope this helps..:-)

The Aquaskipper itself will float. If any time you are in the water and tired, you can rest by holding onto the vertical frame.

Absolutely. You just need to figure out if it's too high. You may have trouble lifting the top to pour the water in.

I don't think so. Mine bows out at the sides even with light-weight floats that we use in our pool. It is really made to hold only light weight material.

It will retain the air in a pool. Curious -- how would you use it in a pool? I would think you would float off it. Maybe use it with weights in a pool to hold you down?

The only information you gave is that you are a little taller. Don't know how tall you are. I'm about 5 and 1/2 feet tall and my arms are still bent a lot. I don't feel that you would have to lean over.

As far as "Top Heavy" - of course when it's first filled and all the water is in the top section, it will have more weight in the upper portion. I've had mine for going on 10 years and never had any problems. Mine sits on a level kitchen counter in a house that does not move. If you use it in a moving vehicle, earthquake, or hurricane, it might be best to secure it so it would not turn over. That holds true for about anything. The smaller bottom stand is optional. It allows placing a glass under the tap. The unit is well balanced and well made. Someone would really have to exert efforts to make it turn over.

I don't know. I am 190 and it's fine with me. Being in the water I don't think we weigh as much and when you put your arms out to the side I think it will also help you float. I would give it a try.

It's a great sturdy pool- I would recommend that you do not fill it to the top if you are worried.

This shirt will not stop you from swimming, and assuming your arms move normally without the shirt, they should function just as well with this shirt on. However, I should caution that this shirt will NOT cure your arms if they do not currently move normally, nor will it teach you to swim if you are currently unable. A more serious answer, this shirt feels great, like a typical base layer shirt that is a bit snug.

It will move if you push on the edge with your feet. Resting them on top won't.
