Pushing on walls

[rickyislandgirl]

Should I yell or not??

Ok the kids like to kick off the side of the pool should I let it go or not ? ... I'm thinking this will weaken the sides and cave in.

What do you think of whirlpools? Or am I a kill joy... lol

Thanks

I think it's ok for kids to push off the wall, adults no.
Whirlpools are ok, I do huge ones in my pool.

You need to have a drink and relax

We do whirlpools all the time. The only thing we do is pull the ladder as the whirlpools we do are so strong that they realy torque on the ladder mounts. In fact, it is a rule in my pool to make a small one when everyone is done as it get all of the dirt into the middle and helps make cleaning faster.

We did one on our family vacation in Hawaii a couple of years ago. Marriot had a nice 40' dia inground tile pool. 15 of us "kids" made a whirlpool in it one night. All of the guests thought it was cool. Thought we were going to get in trouble with the manager but, he was pretty impressed too. Said he never saw anything like that before. The next morning there was a nice little pile of sand in the middle which made it easier for the pool guy to clean it. He seemed kind of puzzled as to how that happened.

Whirlpool? Do you all just walk around and around, gaining speed? Sounds like a good walking workout and an aid to the clean up!

Very true, when I do whirlpools it collects all the debris in the middle and then I scoop it out.

It's a great resistance exercise! Get the whirl going and then reverse direction!

On whirlpools and clean up, I use the directional pool inlet nozzle to help with this. I have the nozzle angled to the left and let the pump run for couple hours at night. In the morning, much of debris ends up in the center of the pool.

If I head out in one direction and my husband goes in the other, will it mess with the space/time continuum? :
