Waterslide and Diving Board of course! Laminated book of pool games. Volley Ball net. I had a launch ramp to jump my skateboard into the pool however in hindsight that was probably a bit too dangerous. And finally get the best pool filter you can so Golden Retrievers can swim with the kids!

Add chaises in baby area. With hole for umbrella. A slide in deeper end, make it out of faux boulders, have it turn and twist down. Where you enter to get on slide, make a cave with lights, that the kids can hide in. For adults a swim up bar, with stools in water. In the rocks you can add fog machine. Raise spa up and have water flow over for a waterfall effect. Lights in pool that change color at night. Use cool Crete for pool deck. To keep feet cool. Adding real boulders around pool is fun and looks great. Have a big deck area, to put your fire pit, built in bench seats, around it. Made out of rock. Add speakers for music. And have a gazebo for shade add a patio table and a outdoor TV. Have fire pit with a gas line or butane. Wood is too smoky.

We were going to try and do an island in the middle of one end, add a play house of some sort, a bridge, and jets to create a lazy river, but, our designer felt we needed at least a 12' diameter island and 8' on each side for inner-tubes. I'm thinking we could get away with a smaller island and a smaller space between the island and the side of the pool.

We're trying to avoid a "monster pool" look. Plus, this would take up one entire end of the pool, and it I think it would need a smaller opening to the rest of the pool.

Any opinions on the size of the island and spacing?

I like the LED lighting, I'm going to have to look up the newest options! Thanks.
