For the last 5 summers my family has enjoyed a $700 pool from Costco. It's one of the best purchases we've ever made.
Briefly

Five summers ago, the decision to purchase a Costco above-ground pool for $700 transformed our family's summer experience. Initially met with skepticism, the purchase became one of our best decisions, enhancing family bonding and entertaining kids through the pandemic. Despite a challenging first summer, learning to maintain the pool paid off, especially after converting to a saltwater system. The effort of setting it up was manageable and has become a lasting summer joy, allowing kids to grow and learn to swim independently.
