We have one of these the, one with the filter, for our 9 year old. It's perfect for her & a couple of her friends. But not so much for an adult.

It's nice because all you have to do to set it up is blow up the ring, place it on a level spot and fill it with water. The bad part is it looks so trashy sitting out in the backyard, but I have it in a place where none of the neighbors can see it. :) It holds about 650 gallons and is sometimes hard to get the water quality right. I found this site that has become very helpful in figuring out small chemical quantities. http://www.poolsolutions.com/gd/kiddiepool.html

If I have to get another one in the future I'm not sure what I'd get, I know I would get something bigger though.

thanks LIAG...we have one that is similar to that, with the blow up ring...I think it's a 14 foot, so it's big enough for even adults to sit in it and cool off. The ring has a small leak in it that has been challenging to find!!

Some days, I'm tempted to buy one of those hard plastic kiddie pools at Walmart, go home, fill it up and just sit in it and have a beer.

Were I not going out of town this weekend, that would sound like a Memorial Day well spent.

My parents used to throw parties when I was a kid. I remember coming home from visiting at my Granny's for the weekend and there would be like 3 or 4 drunk men in my kiddie pool. It used to make me so mad.

I had this problem. The cat got in the pool (of her own free will, I wish I had a video) and when she got out she put a small, small hole in the ring. They're next to impossible to find!

ya...tried the soap...old time leak finder! even used some indstrial leak detector...but the damn hole(s) are sooooo damn small!

Here is what you do, fill the inflatable part of the pool with water, find out where the water is coming out and plug it.

Do not ask me how in the hell you are going to fill that thing with water. However if you figure out a way then I am sure this suggestion will work.

You are very welcome.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      This is always a non-story by the time camp begins.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By TD alt · Posted

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
