hahaha, i know what you mean but the season before we filled it it was only used to swim in 4 times. that and the fact that running a pool costs money! lots of money and i just wanted to get my old Dad Ronzie away from the side of it! he is a bit wobbly and it started to scare me. we had the pool for 35 years and it was such a part of my life! one year at christmas we broke the ice up and i got in! not for long mind! still feels weird walking around on the deep end without getting wet!
