Hi, Firstpool, and welcome to the world of pool ownership!!
I'll have to think a little about your question--in the meantime, there should be other replies being offered as people see your post. My first two thoughts when I read your post were that 1)you'll need to be careful what you make the platform out of, because it's very easy to rip a hole in the liner, especially if whatever "platform" you decide on is capable of moving..for example, when the kids jump off of it, if it moves at all, you're asking for a liner rip, and 2) I am very leery of the idea of a platform with a child that doesn't swim well yet. The platform may very well lure her into a sense of security, but if she happens to accidentally step off the edge of it, she'd be in real trouble. I would think your time and money are better spent teaching her to swim. Just my $0.02, though.....
