A plastic or vinyl pool is a small pool that can be easily set up and disassembled. They are typically small wading pools, usually only 1 to 3 feet deep. Some have walls that can be inflated, while others just have soft walls that lift and stay in place as water is added to the pool. A small hole in the pool can can occur from rough play or coming into contact with a sharp object, such as a branch or rock. A hole can cause the pool to become deflated, or allow water to leak out. However, small holes are easy to patch and fix. If the hole is large, the plastic pool can not be fixed.
