We put a pool in when we built this house and we love it. Our kids love it. Lil Lookout was a year old when we moved in and swimming with a couple months. 2.0 is 21 months now and he was really really swimming by the end of this past summer. Mrs L takes him to swimming lessons.

If you learn how to do your own pool chemicals it is very inexpensive to maintain and not that much work.

If you're really worried about the kids getting out then you'll put in dual door handles. Your normal handle stays but the second is above 5' - both must be turned to open the door. If you have room for the fence that is also a good idea and our magnalock has worked like a dream for years.

You will love the family fun in the pools gentlemen, keep them.
