Help finding quality shallow AGP for kids

[secundus]

Hi,

I'm trying to find a quality 27' or 30' AGP thats shallow (48" or less), but could only find the Sharkline Reprieve. I like the higher end AGPs, but they are all 52"+ depth. My kids are just too short for the deeper pools.

Can I just fill the pool with less water? Not sure if the skimmer will be under the waterline with most 52"+ depth pools.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Sharkline Reprieve is not that bad a pool. It doesn't have any resin parts but the quality and finish of the metal is decent. I got mine at Rec Factory Warehouse not long before they went out of business. At the time, I didn't know what kind it was, just their house brand I assumed, but later found out it was a Sharkline Reprieve by doing web research. I'd just get a better filter than what Rec Whse stuck me with.

You could keep the water level a little lower. How old are the kids ?

They'll grow fast.

Just have to keep it high enough for the skimmer. Maybe a lower placed skimmer? Would require a new liner if you were to use the original skimmer cut out.

This, exactly.

Our youngest was three when we bought an Intex and at five, she's still too short to touch bottom. She has a flotation suit that she wears every time she goes in.

We're upgrading to a Sharkline Matrix, probably the 20', which is 54". The 7 and 9 y/os can swim but the 5 y/o will still need a float suit or PFD. That plus the normal safety rule: No one in the pool unless an adult is supervising.
