Doheny's Inground Pool Slide Safety First
Swimming pool slides are a favorite inground pool accessory so why not put a slide on the deck of your above ground pool? Well, simply put above ground pools do not have enough depth to safely dive or drop into the pool at a high rate of speed without risk of serious injury according to the association of pool and spa professionals. Pool slides and diving boards require greater water depths than is available in an above ground pool. That's right, even if you have a large above ground pool with four feet depth of water, sliding or diving is not recommended.
