I am looking for a pool that will be easy to do "pool walking", which is basically walking laps rather than swimming. Is this possible with this pool?

I walked in it..it involves just a few steps, then a pivot, then back. I went corner to corner and got the results I wanted. It was boring, so music made it better. The pivot actually helped with my therapy. I also ran in place...my favorite exercise.

Being a 10x7 rectangle its hard but we actually do walk, it gets a whirlpool going. ILOVE my ipool

It is an inflatable pool so no, you could not. Pool was nice, bought for my grand kids. The customer service was not. I could not fit mine in the space I wanted to and tried to return it. No go. I gave it away to a family with small children.

Yes I have the steps outside the pool and the ladder in the pool and I like that better. You have to tie the ladder to either the pool frame or to the steps because it floats. And the steps have to be secured also. I put a rubber bath mat down inside the pool for the ladder to sit on.

No, with two people (each taking a corner) you can fold it over on itself multiple times and stack it up on one side of the pool. We usually just expose half the pool for swimming, leaving the cover on the water folded in half, which can be done without a lot of effort. But a reel would make things easier (and only require one person).

Anyone can "walk" in a swimming pool, with or without weights. The pool I walk in is only 4'6" at its deepest. The weight belt provides greater resistance and stability when walking or jogging in a swimming pool.

absolutely. there is a learning curve for sure in the pool, but I don't think you'd have that issue with non-pool activities.

Hi Al, Who knows. Plan B, grab the ol' garden hose. Coil it up. Dunk whole hose in pool, till filled with water. Put thumb over one end, pull out that end, release thumb,water will flow. Have fun, Rex

It climbs walls great. Our pool has vertical walls with fairly rounded corners at the bottom. If the corners were sharper, not sure how it would do, of course. Re tiles: ours are at the water line, and tend to accumulate scale in the 'splash zone' above the water. Not expecting to get much scrubbing - if we do, that will be a bonus.

Just buy the chlorine tabs and chlorine holder that floats in the pool. You can adjust the bottom for more or less, and you just let it float around, no worries!

Hi-Thanks for your inquiry-It was designed for a swimming pool.You might try it for something else.

I took it to the pool and did some laps with it. It would work sporadically, it matters how deep your head goes underwater And how far the device is. I hung my phone in a bag midway thru the lap and that helped with distance. It worked well in jacuzzi after. So you can swim with them but not recommended. It's more of a selling point to stress the water durability of the product.

Yes, on the bottom of the pool, won't drain that way. Let the air out of the tubes, its easier.

Hi, actually, no. My sisters pool is a pretty big above the ground pool, for a community pool that size, I think it would be very time consuming. Good luck.

You probably could if you went very slow, but walking it would be better. It has to sink to bottom, so "pull, let it sink, pull let it sink" works best.

Lakes are easy to fill from, rivers also if there's significant flow. Standing, shallow pools are difficult. I bring a plastic water bottle cut in half just in case.

yes; as long as you have padding you should be fine. This pool doesn't move after the water is in it. Having a concrete base will help a lot on set up we love this.pool.

I don't really know a site for this. What I did was put them and walk around forwards AND backwards. Then against the edge of the pool there are several things to do.Face the wall and hold on. Hold your leg straight and lift it as far as you can away from your body. Do several and then do the other leg. Repeat.Face the wall and hold on. Bend your leg by raising your foot and bumping it on your butt. Do several, change leg and repeat.Face away from the wall with your arms on the edge. Raise your legs (one or both) straight out.Facing the same way and holding on - raise your knees to your chin.Do a bunch of all of these and finish by walking again in both directions.I think you'll feel a little something.
