Welcome, Monica!
I started the same way with a 15' round inflatable Intex--and ended up a moderator here!
I have said this many times: If you are sitting in a floating lounge chair with your favorite drink, basking in the sun, listening to a ball game or your fav tunes, it doesn't matter if you are in a 15' round temp, or a 40'x16' lapping pool...the water is just as wet, cool and splendid. I know this because that's what I now have and it was easy because of what I learned here.

We have noticed that AG owners are usually much more committed to using their pools than IG owners, because an unused AG pool is soon gone.
