The pool has a 15-person grotto with an underwater bench and a table for sitting and enjoying music. It has a waterfall, fountains, a bridge shower, a 260-foot lazy river, underwater bar stools, fog machines, a hot-tub cabana and special lighting to give it that Vegas effect. READ MORE

We bought James a plastic pool from Academy. It fills up with water from the garden hose in minutes. Sometimes things drop down from the tree and float in the pool when no one is there. We heat it by putting the pool in the sun. Beat that.
