Some folks have had success with 3/4 or 1 inch foam rope under the perimeter. It was more for leaves but a barrier is a barrier. The Home stores have reels of it pretty cheap. Here's 600ft for $81 at TSC.
Let’s see your water after removing winter cover!! **RESURRECTED FOR 2025!**

The Letro Legend II - prepping for its 28th season. Viewing the aftermath from this year's worm convention.
One day later, after the Letro and Dolphin E70 had a go. 86ºF and ready for a swim.

These are my post opening numbers after circulating for several hours and before adding any chemicals.
Last Wednesday evening wife and I pulled the winter cover and then rolled out the solar cover. We didn't have time to do anything else that evening since we needed to add water. Next couple days it rained. This picture is from last Saturday when I had time to finish opening, and vaccuming. All went well, equipment all up and running, added some liquid Chlorine I had left over from last season. It's always encouraging to open it up and th water is crystal clear. If it wasn't so frigid I'd have been tempted to get my suit on and jump in. I stood in the water by the steps for a bit and I'm guessing it's probably around 50 degrees. I was very pleased with the water conditon and the reltively low amount of leaves in the pool.
Today or tomorrow, I'll test the water and see where we stand there. Then it's just a matter of waiting for the water to warm up for swimming!
My three year old can't wait, I had to stop her from going out to the pool. She had just a diaper on and arms full of pool toys
At 3, I would have moved heaven and earth to warm the water. At 16, i'll throw her in fully clothed and hope it freezes the attitude off.
