From what I read and hear. Sport pools are good, but if you have kids or your still a kid , I say get a pool w/ deep end. That way you can jump into the pool. Not to say getting you need to get a diving board, but w/ my two children it seems that they love to jump. My oldest on our boat; all he would do is jump off and climb in and keeep going back and forth doing it.

Were getting a deep end pool and since our kids like to jump and do not want a diving board. We will be adding a jumping rock (big rock that close to the pool ledge) and they can get higher air before the splash.
