ABSTRACT:
A floating pool assembly including a sheet member having top and bottom extremities and first and second ends, the first and second ends being connected together to define an endless wall with an open top and open bottom. The sheet member is flexible for folding and unfolding. The assembly further includes a floatation pocket extending along the top extremity between the ends of the sheet member, a weight pocket extending along the bottom extremity between the ends of the sheet member, and a fluid pocket extending between the ends of the sheet member below the floatation pocket. The fluid pocket has closed ends and spaced openings therealong and an inlet which communicates with the fluid pocket for supplying fluid to the fluid pocket for flow out of the openings. When the assembly is disposed within a pool and the supplied fluid is hot water coming from the pool water heating system, the assembly provides an isolated heated area within the pool.
A method of forming the floating pool assembly is also disclosed and includes the steps of forming the floatation pocket extending along the top extremity between the ends of the sheet, forming the weight pocket extending along the bottom extremity between the ends of the sheet, forming a fluid pocket extending between the ends below the floatation pocket, securing an inlet to the fluid pocket for supplying fluid to the pocket, and connecting the first and second ends of the sheet together to define an endless wall with an open top and open bottom.
