because I'm a cheap @#@$#@% but also because it's all I need. Not big... 22' long and 12' wide. I think 48" deep? Maybe it's 52".
Had it two weeks now.. didn't use it this week much because I'm been camping... first week I used it about 1hr each afternoon and another 1 to 2 hours every evening/night. I prefer it at night.
Today I had some business so no afternoon swim... this evening 1.5 hours. I'm liking it. We're right at 110ยบ and it's wonderful to cool off. Of course, as small as it is the water will probably be boiling in a couple of weeks? I may have to empty it and refill it if that happens. Easy for me... pump it directly into the field behind my house. Only takes half a day to refill it.
Options I purchased: A little blow-up parrot that holds one of those red plastic cups from Costco plus some vodka/mixer/piece of fruit and an umbrella. Other options: Tequila, Rum, Scotch, and Guiness. - JamesJM
