The Kiddie Pool by Sun Pools is a round one-piece fiberglass pool built for splashing, not swimming. Sun Pools lists it at 15′ round with a depth of 18″, and the name says who it is for. This is shallow wading water for young children, a place for buckets, splashing, and first summer memories made close to home while a parent or grandparent sits nearby and keeps watch.

What Is the Kiddie Pool?
The Kiddie Pool is a round fiberglass wading pool from Sun Pools available in one listed size: 15′ round with a listed depth of 18″. Sun Pools describes these as approximate maximum available dimensions.
A 15′ round shape gives children room to spread out and splash, and a listed depth of 18″ is wading water, measured in inches rather than feet. The exact entry layout is confirmed from Sun Pools’ drawings during your consultation.
What the Kiddie Pool Is Not
The Kiddie Pool is not a swimming pool. At a listed depth of 18″, it is built for wading and water play, not for swimming, laps, or adult lounging. It is also not a substitute for supervision. Shallow water is still water, and young children in or near any pool need an attentive adult with them at all times.
If your family wants a full swimming pool, Sun Pools offers many swimming pool models, including the Caladesi, listed at 10′ x 20′ with a 3′ to 5′ depth, and the Freeport, listed at 12′ x 24′ with a 3′ to 5′ depth. If what you want is a dedicated wading pool, the Kiddie Pool is the one.
Why Sun Pools?
Sun Pools has been producing hand crafted swimming pools featuring American made composite materials since 1995. Every shell is manufactured in Albany, Kentucky, at an EPA approved Title V facility, and Sun Pools says its team’s decades of experience lead to one of the toughest composite pools on the market today. Sun Pools also lists Ohio among the states it serves.
On a pool that will see years of splashing, a few construction points matter most:
- Critical point lamination: Sun Pools uses hand cut sheet fabric for each pool model and places the structural material across the shell from side to side, a process Sun Pools compares to building a high end yacht.
- A smooth, durable surface: Sun Pools finishes each shell with a modified epoxy skin-coat resin and describes the interior as a smooth, comfortable surface that won’t snag your swimsuit or skin.
- Marine finishes, no clear coat: The shell is colored in one of 4 solid, high grade marine finishes made with marine FRP resin and no resin fillers, backed by structural ribs and a reinforced coping.
Sun Pools builds the floor and steps of its pools with a non-skid textured bottom. Like every feature of any pool, it is not a substitute for supervision.
Why Fiberglass, and Why the Kiddie Pool?
Sun Pools shells are built in the factory and arrive on site as a finished fiberglass shell ready to be installed, which Sun Pools says saves weeks of construction time. The surface will not need to be replaced like a vinyl liner or acid washed or re-coated like a concrete pool, and Sun Pools says its smooth interior requires minimum chemical treatment.
The case for the Kiddie Pool specifically is about giving young children water of their own. A portable wading pool gets set up, drained, and put away. The Kiddie Pool is a permanent fiberglass shell that stays put season after season, ready for an Ohio swim season that runs roughly mid-May through September.

Kiddie Pool FAQs
What do the Kiddie Pool's size and depth mean in practice?
Sun Pools lists the Kiddie Pool at 15′ round with a depth of 18″, as approximate maximum available dimensions. In practice, that is a wide, shallow wading pool for splashing and water play.
Is the Kiddie Pool safe for young children?
No pool, at any depth, is safe without supervision. The Kiddie Pool’s listed depth of 18″ makes it wading water rather than swimming water, but children in or near it need an attentive adult watching at all times. During your consultation, Ohio Paradise Pools will talk through fencing, gates, and other layers that make sense for your yard and your local requirements.
How does the Kiddie Pool compare with other Sun Pools models?
The Kiddie Pool is the shallowest model Sun Pools lists, at 18″. The other pools in the Sun Pools lineup are swimming pools, starting with compact options like the Aruba, listed at 8′ x 14′ with a depth of 4′. The Freeport Oasis, listed at 12′ x 24′ with a 3′ to 5′ depth, adds a built in tanning ledge that Sun Pools calls “the perfect spot for tanning, small children and pets,” which some families prefer when they want shallow water and a swimming pool in one shell.
What layout options should I ask about?
The exact entry layout for the Kiddie Pool is confirmed from Sun Pools’ drawings during your consultation. Ask how the pool will sit relative to your patio and house so supervising adults have a clear line of sight. Sun Pools does not list automatic cover compatibility on the Kiddie Pool model page, so Ohio Paradise Pools confirms cover options with you during design.
How long does it take to install a Kiddie Pool?
Because the Kiddie Pool is a one-piece fiberglass shell that arrives finished from the factory, most installations take approximately 2 to 3 weeks from excavation through shell placement, plumbing, electrical, and initial finishing, depending on local permitting, site access, weather, and the scope of your decking. We manage the entire project, provide regular updates, and offer FaceTime walk-throughs on days you are not on-site. When installation is complete, we conduct two pool school visits before we consider the job finished.
What warranty does the Kiddie Pool carry?
Sun Pools backs its fiberglass pool shells with a Lifetime Structural Pool Shell Warranty. The interior surface carries a 3 year warranty, and the warranty is transferable within the first 36 months. Coverage follows the Sun Pools Inc. Shell Warranty Certificate delivered with each pool, and the warranty requires registration with Sun Pools’ corporate office. When you work with Ohio Paradise Pools, that manufacturer warranty is supported by a local team that has been in business for over 32 years, holds a BBB A+ rating, and has been recognized as Cleveland’s swimming pool contractor of the year in 2022, 2023, and 2024.
What does maintenance look like on the Kiddie Pool?
Sun Pools says its smooth fiberglass interior requires minimum chemical treatment, and the surface will not need to be replaced like a vinyl liner or acid washed or re-coated like a concrete pool. Shallow water still needs clean, balanced water, so routine care means testing water chemistry, running the filtration system, and clearing out leaves and toys. Our two-visit pool school makes sure you know the routine before we leave.
