To pool or not to pool

Tony and I are seriously considering an above ground pool... But we don't have the money. We have decided to save up for one that's about 5,000.00 which we will be ready for by next summer or the following, so what do we do for this summer?

We found a nice pool at Sam's club, it's obviously cheap but it will hold us over for a few years until we can afford the nicer one.

This is the pool we are considering, Cheap pool

Tony brings up a good point though, how will I get the baby in and out of there safely? We'll need a deck...

Then we'll need two permits, even for the 295.00 cheap one... This could get hairy. But I've been a mermaid since I was a very young girl... My fins are drying up!
