It's tough, I always had a pool growing up and we had a blast... lots of good memories.
Then when we got older and stopped using it, and my dad made me take care of it... holy shit. Pools can be so high maintenance. Had to constantly brush algae out of that motherfucker, scoop out huge clumps of leaves, and basically perform a meth cook's worth of chemistry to keep it from getting even more fucked up.
Me personally, I wouldn't get one unless I really liked to swim and my little shits expressed a fanatical interest in swimming.
