Re: Changing AG pool depth from 52"-54" to 46"-48" for kids (shallow end tricks)
I agree. Our boys have always been in the regular depth with the adults since they were little babies. Baby floats and life jackets were our answer then, I think those floatie costumes are wonderful alternatives that look "cooler" for kids that care about that sort of thing, for those that don't floatation devices and good supervision (that always anyways)
Beats driving to the lake!

Re: Changing AG pool depth from 52"-54" to 46"-48" for kids (shallow end tricks)
Thanks for all the advice. This is awesome!
Plan A: Go for it! I didn't know pool height didn't include loss from skimmer and sand bottom. Also pool toys will provide excellent rest stations... they will totally love it. My 6 year old does fine with breaks and place to shoot for nearby (under supervision of course).
Plan B is floatation wear.
Plan C is lower water and get a floating skimmer.
Lots of options. I'm ready to order tomorrow! I just hope the sale is still on and I get someone knowledgeable to talk with on the phone before I spend ~$2,500+.

UPDATE: I purchased the 12'x24'x54" Diamond Start pool (made by Wil-Bar) from www.sunenterprises.com. I'm confident full depth won't be a problem, but if I encounter any issues I'll update this thread. Thanks again.
