The Intex kids inflatable pool design shows that there is more than just standard inflatable pool designs out there. It’s not a hugely different design, but the differences really show in this model. This inflatable kiddies pool is a good choice if you’re looking for a smaller and convenient pool to set up and take down.
In this review, we’ll look at the details of the Intex Swim Center Inflatable Family Lounge Pool and talk about the pros and cons of this model as well as who this design is best suited to.

 | "Good option for families whose parents want to spend time in the pool directly and want to be more comfortable than a traditional kiddie pool." |
Features and Accessories
This inflatable pool is a little more feature-rich than a lot of other inflatable pools thanks to the built-in seat design. That seat also makes this pool a great option for parents who want to spend a lot of time with their children in the pool because it makes the pool much more comfortable.
Built-in cup holders are only a bonus, but they do make it easier to stay hydrated while enjoying your pool!
Intex Inflatable Pool Quality
This inflatable kids pool is a little different for an Intex design, in that it’s made with see-through plastic and only has two air chambers. Having two air chambers does make the pool slightly more durable, but it’s still less so than a 3-air chamber or more pool. Even though the plastic is a little thinner, it’s still reasonably puncture resistant.
However, Intex does seem to recognize that this design is a little less durable and has included a patch kit so that you can fix small leaks without too many problems.
Intex Kids Inflatable Pool Set-Up
Set up is simple on this kiddie pool, it has no filtration or pump, so all you need to do is inflate the outer shell and then fill the interior of the pool. Filling should only take a couple of hours even with a normal garden hose.
Pool Filtration
This inflatable pool, like many inflatable pools, doesn’t come with any kind of filter or pump. That means that you need to drain the pool water occasionally to avoid it going stagnant or building up too much algae and contamination.
Pool Maintenance
Maintenance on this pool is still minimal, even considering that you do need to empty and re-fill it occasionally. The pool walls will need the occasional cleaning and wipe down in addition to emptying and refilling the pool.
The other big maintenance requirement is watching for leaks and patching them as soon as they are noticed.
Who Is This Kiddie Pool Right For?
This Intex kids pool is a good option for families whose parents want to spend time in the pool directly, but who also want to be more comfortable than a traditional kiddie pool. It’s a more comfortable pool both in the seat and the plastic they’ve chosen, but it’s also a little less durable. This pool may be less appealing to parents who don’t want a lot of maintenance or to patch holes very often.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Very comfortable lounging pool
- Easy to set up
- See-through plastic is more attractive
- Relatively small capacity, easier to fill
- Patch kit included
Cons:
- Plastic design is less durable overall
Final Verdict
This pool is an attractive and comfortable inflatable pool, but it’s definitely still a kiddie pool. The design is relatively compact and makes room for both kids and adults to enjoy. Overall, it’s a good option, but less durable than many other Intex models.
