The Bestway Power Steel Swim Vista is an oval above-ground pool measuring 14 foot long by 8 foot 2 inches wide, with a gray stone print on the exterior soft wall.

Built-in Swim Vista portholes sit in the sidewalls so you can see into the water from the yard. Inside, the liner carries a blue prismatic stone print over a darker blue floor.

The assembled wall height is 39.5 inches. Clear the full 14 foot by 8 foot 2 inch footprint on level ground before you start, and plan on two to three people for frame assembly.

A 530 gal. filter pump with a Type III-A/C cartridge circulates water through hoses at the wall fittings. The corrosion-resistant steel frame and three-layer Tritech liner with PVC and reinforced polyester mesh hold the oval shape once filled.

Assembly is required at home with no tools. The set includes the filter pump, ladder, and pool cover with the pool. People and landscaping in photos are not included.

Take the frame down for off-season storage after you drain and dry the liner. Keep children away from standing water unless an adult is supervising the whole time anyone is near the pool.

• A backyard that looks like stone

  The oval frame wears a printed gray stone finish on the outside, with the Bestway Power Steel name printed across the front panel. Tubular steel legs angle down from the top rail on each side, giving the frame a stable, symmetrical stance once it's built and filled.

• A window into the water

  A round window sits low in the wall so anyone outside can watch the swimmers, and the interior liner carries a printed blue tile pattern that deepens in color toward the bottom. Both prints are purely cosmetic; the structure underneath is the same reinforced liner and steel wall.

• Setup needs a level site

  Clear the site of sticks and stones, check that the ground is level in every direction, and lay down a tarp or ground cloth before you start building. The steel frame goes together with no tools, and the job goes faster with two to three people to raise the frame and finish the assembly.

• How much water it holds

  Once it's built, the pool holds enough water for a genuine family swim, not just a wade around the edges. The wall stands 39.5 inches tall, so depth is steady from end to end rather than sloping like an inflatable ring pool, and it takes a garden hose running for a while to fill it completely.

• A pump sized for this pool

  The set ships with a 530-gallon filter pump and its pleated cartridge already sized to match, plus two hoses to connect it to the wall fittings. A timer on the pump lets you run it on and off on a schedule instead of watching a clock, and a separate dispenser clips into the wall to feed chlorine into the water at a steady rate.

• Supervise it like any pool

  This is a real body of standing water, not a splash pad, and the wall keeps it 39.5 inches deep the whole time it's up. Never leave children near it unsupervised, and block or remove the ladder when the pool sits idle so a child can't climb in alone. Steps lead up the outside wall to a rail you hold while stepping over the top into the water.

• Off-season means drain and store

  Snap the fitted cover on between swims to keep leaves and debris out, and keep an eye on the chlorine level so the water stays clear rather than cloudy or green. When the season ends, drain the pool, let the liner and cover dry fully, then fold the frame down and store everything inside for winter rather than leaving it out in the cold.

• Steel built to resist rust

  The frame is corrosion-resistant steel, and the poles connect at rust-resistant fittings that need no tools to assemble. The liner itself is a reinforced three-layer build, a support layer sandwiched between two outer layers, so it resists stretching and puncturing better than a single-ply liner. Bestway backs the pump for a year and the liner for 180 days.

• Everything needed to fill it

  The box ships with the pool itself, the steel frame, the 530-gallon filter pump and cartridge, two hoses, the ladder, the wall dispenser, and a fitted cover, everything included to get water in and start swimming. Pool chemicals are not included, so budget separately for chlorine before the first fill.

Good to know

• Allow for the full 14′ L × 8′2″ W pool footprint before setup.
• The assembled wall height is 39.5″.
• Plan on two to three people for frame assembly.
