Hi everyone,

I am planning for a roughly 15x30 pool (can go a little longer, to 40 feet) if I absolutely need to.

My primary use case would be lounging really, maybe some laps. I have two kids - 3 and 5 years old.

I like the idea of a sport pool in 4ft-5ft-4ft configuration however, unsure about how annoying it is to be standing on a slope no matter where you are in a pool. I’ve never been in a sport pool.

Should I just go for a uniform depth across the pool?
 
My two cents, I DO NOT HAVE a sports pool, But my neighbors did, they also had 3 boys, a set of twins and the older was about a year more, they ( the boys) used the pool all the time with pool volleyball nets and water polo nets, always had school friends over to play it became a gathering place that was enjoyed by all. The family was athletic and in to all sports. Does this sound like a good fit for you if so, I say go for it. Never heard any one complain about a slope. Good luck and keep us posted.

Ours is 4' - 5' 9"' - 4 1/2'. The babies love the 4-5" deep big top step as we call it then as they get taller they begin to venture down the steps into deeper water. Before we know it they are jumping in and learning to swim in the shallow end. Then they move to jumping in to the deep middle and off the waterfall.
