Why It’s Our Top Pick:
“This is our favourite inflatable pool because it is fully automatic! With one press of the button, your pool can inflate itself. No more huffing and puffing with your breath or sweltering over an air pump. A plus; this pool also comes with a shade so you have the option of getting your tan on while you’re in the water or preventing sunstroke.”
Overview:
Automatic features aside, this pool has smooth corners and is made of thick PVC, making it durable. If you want to drain the pool, simply remove the cork sealing the drainage pipe. It is also easy to store as deflating the pool reduces its size by 90%.
Testimonies:
This pool is big enough for a family, and it is so easy to use as you save time from not having to inflate it. There are a couple of sizes to choose from, so pick the one that can fit into your house/apartment. The shade is a nice touch, just right for Malaysian weather.
If you don't mind splurging a little, why not get an inflatable castle that comes with a pool? This is a great investment for kids' parties and will make any child's day as they can bounce around, splash in the shallow pool, and slide into the water for good measure. Also, it is safe for your little ones because the pool is not deep at all.
Overview:
The entire bounce house is 340×330×195cm, which is pretty big – so remember to measure the area around your house to make sure you have the space for it. It is made of PVC and comes with an air pump for convenience. You can choose between the ‘Treasure Island’ design or the ‘Busy Bee’.
Testimonies:
A very popular purchase for people with lawns big enough to host a kids’ party. Your kids will have a whale of a time!
Customers remarked that the assembly was simple and the product is as advertised. Children are thrilled by the bright colours of the pool.
What could be better than a regular pool? One with a slide and sprinkler! Your kids can now whoosh down the slide into the pool feeling like they are at an actual waterpark.
Inject some fun into their lives after being cooped up at home for so long with one of these inflatable pools.
Overview:
There are many different designs to choose from, ranging from Rainbow Slide to Volcano Park. The product is easy to set up as you can opt for an electric pump, and it even comes with inflatable toys to suit the theme (eg: footballs for a football-themed pool). The sprinklers are activated by connecting the pool to your garden hose, and you can add on an electric pump just to make assembly easier.
Testimonies:
Parents are like the size of the pool and appreciate that it is not too deep, making it safe for their kids to play in. The pump is a bit slow, and users found it took a lot of manual inflation to get the pool set up.
These days, it’s common for parents to bring their babies to a baby swimming class, where instructors will insert a ring float over your baby's head as they wriggle.
Now, you can take charge of your baby’s progression at home! With this extra-large swimming pool, there is plenty of room to train your babies (with supervision, of course!).
Overview:
This pool is easy to set up, supported by metal poles coated with rust-resistant paint for durability. The walls are laminated for strength, and the inside of the pool features a blue-tiled design that resembles an actual swimming pool.
It is also large enough that adults or older children can play or lounge in it.
Testimonies:
This pool is popular for its durability, as it is made of heavy-duty material. As it is deep enough you can add more water to it if you prefer, or less if you want it to be shallow.
Some mentioned that the set-up is tricky, but still thought it was a worthwhile buy.
For our apartment or condominium dwelling readers, this is the perfect inflatable pool for you. It’s not too big, and you can fold it up after usage for easy storage.
Overview:
Both pools are made of double-layered PVC. The circular pool has a three-layered wall while the rectangular one is two-layered. Both have a base that is comfortable for you to sit in while babysitting the kids.
It also doubles as a ball pen when you clear the pool of water. Just add in some plastic balls! Potential buyers can choose between the rectangular and circular pool, depending on the amount of space you have.
Testimonies:
The sizing of the pools is perfect for those who may not have as much space at home. In fact, it can even fit in some bathrooms. Its versatility makes this a value for money buy as you can also use it as a sandpit or ball pit for the kids.
Did you know that an inflatable air mattress is called a Lilo? Yeah, like Lilo and Stitch! These are great for a blissful float on the water if you want a tan at the pool without wetting your hair.
Overview:
This is a vinyl mattress that you can inflate with your breath or with an air pump. It can withstand up to 100kg and comes in 5 different colours. More specifically, it is 183 cm x 69 cm in dimension.
Apart from lying on it to get a tan, this also offers great support until you gain more confidence in the water if you’re learning how to swim. A definite ‘must-pack’ item for a perfect pool day!
Testimonies:
Many people like this mattress, and it is a staple for people who frequent pools and beaches. It works well and is reasonably priced. Some customers even use it as a garden bed, and while it was not intended to be used as such – it works nevertheless!
Who doesn’t love unicorns? They’re mythical creatures that are colourful horses with spiral horns. At one point, everyone had at least one item that had a unicorn on it, and though that trend has dwindled, it’s still popular amongst children due to its magical nature and attractive bright colours.
This is your cue to get your child this cute inflatable unicorn pool!
Overview:
This pool is built with durable vinyl and has a built-in sunshade in the shape of a rainbow. It is suitable for children from ages 1-3 and can hold about 12 gallons of water. Its inflated size is about 50x40x27 inches. Your kids can play comfortably in it as the floor is soft.
Testimonies:
Kids get excited when they see this pool because of its bright pastel colours. It is also safe as the pool is shallow. Besides, you needn't worry about the sun when your kids play in it on a hot day as the shade is wide enough to cover almost half the pool.
Can you swim in an inflatable pool?
This depends on the size of your pool (and you!). Most pools are large enough only for kids to swim and adults to lounge in, so if you are looking for an inflatable pool to train your babies and toddlers in, they could probably do a couple of laps in it – but an adult is unlikely to do much more than two to three strokes.
How long can you keep water in an inflatable pool?
It is advisable to clean out your pool daily as it is unlike a regular swimming pool where chlorine is added to keep it sanitary. However, it should not be difficult to clean it. Just use some soap and water, then let it dry in the sun. Good as new!
Are inflatable pools sanitary?
Inflatable pools are meant for short-term use, meaning that you can have your kids play in it for a day or chill in it for a couple of hours on a hot day. As such, it is quite sanitary to use as long as you clean it out afterwards.
That being said, you might want to make sure everyone gets cleaned up before they enter the pool as it does not have a filter or any disinfectants in the water to clear out any bacteria. In such an accumulated space, it can be a breeding ground for infections.
As Dory would say – just keep swimming!
