Intex Swim Centre Family Lounge Pool 56475 — 229 x 229 x 66cm

The One with the Built-In Seats

This is the family pool designed with the grown-ups in mind as much as the kids. Four built-in seats with backrests sit in the corners, and two drink holders are moulded into the sidewall — so you can sink into the cool water with a cold drink within reach while the little ones splash beside you. At 229cm square and 66cm deep, there is proper room to stretch out.

The wide sidewalls give the pool its shape and its comfort, made from a thick 0.32mm vinyl that stands up to a full season outdoors. Two air chambers inflate it quickly, and when you are done there is a drain plug to run the water off without upending the whole thing. It is a family pool that works as well for a lazy adult afternoon as a children's splash.

You will find it with the rest of our swimming pools, and it pairs naturally with the loungers and parasols in our outdoor living range for the full back-garden setup. Add a few garden games for the kids and the afternoon runs itself. Call into Beattys of Loughrea to see it in person — we are on the map here.

Q: Are the seats comfortable for adults?
A: They are — each of the four corner seats has a backrest and sits you down in the water, so they are built for adults to relax while keeping an eye on the kids.

Q: How much water does it hold?
A: Around 990 litres filled to the recommended line — a good depth for the whole family without being overwhelming.

Q: Does it come with a pump?
A: No, you will need a hand, foot or electric pump for the two air chambers. It is not supplied but any standard pump works.
