    Talking 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+.

    AG BF 13.5'x23.5'x54" (wups) Diamond Star (Wil-bar) purchased 5/30/2007 from sunenterprises.com. 2hp pump + 150lb sand filter (both WaterWay combo) using 75lbs zeobrite + SWG.
    Dug and built ourselves in ~30hrs by ~7/4 thanks to PF (esp. hrdennis,nwmnmom,matt4x4,Waste,CarlD, &others). ~$5,500 total cost.

    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.
