Hi there! We just signed a contract for a small, in-ground fiberglass pool and now need to pick between two options. We are looking at Latham's Key West and Bermuda. The Bermuda has large entry steps and several benches around the sides and at the "deep end", with a depth of 5'6. The Key West has a small set of entry steps and one swim out step/bench in the deep end, and a depth of 6'. Seems like more swim space in the Key West and more lounging in the Bermuda and this is where WE ARE STUCK! Our girls are 8 and 12 and spend their time jumping in and playing on inflatables. I'm sure my husband I would spend time lounging. The Key West has 2000 more gallons and 4 feet more surface space, so more room to do all that play, but less options for lounging. I find the 6' deep end of the Key West more appealing than the 5'6" but maybe that's not a big deal. Just wondering if any of you experienced pool owners have any thoughts, it's so hard to know what option to go with when we've never owned a pool. Pics of both are attached.

Welcome to TFP! :wave: The bigger the better IMO. :)

 
I'd go for more lounging. We use ours more as a cocktail pool and as such, have to use papasan floats since we only have one small seating area.

Ultimately, it is up to how you think you will use the pool. I will say that I do not think the seating around the perimeter will in any way affect the jump factor for the kids.
