What type of rocks should I use around in-ground vinyl pool?

Mulch gets in the pool and I'm trying to replace it with rocks. Any pros and cons? Also what type/size do you recommend?

I live in PA and we have high water table around our pool too. Not sure if this would impact it.

River rocks are smooth, larger than an egg and don't hurt to step on. That would be my suggestion.

The Madera pebbles are ideal, in my opinion.

If you intend to walk on them don't use anything pea gravel size or smaller. The rock I used was smooth so no sharp edges but it doesn't pack at all. It makes for a very unsteady walking surface. I finally had to add pavers as stepping stones to make it safe to walk on.
