Barnbassäng

Barnbassäng, also known as a children's pool or splash pool, is a shallow body of water designed for young children to play in. These pools are typically much shallower than standard swimming pools, often only a few inches to a couple of feet deep, making them safe for toddlers and very young children. Barnbassänger can be found in various settings, including public swimming facilities, private backyards, and even as temporary inflatable structures.

The primary purpose of a barnbassäng is to provide a safe and fun environment for children to cool down, play, and become accustomed to water. They often feature playful elements such as small slides, water cannons, sprayers, and sometimes even shallow fountains. The reduced depth minimizes the risk of drowning for non-swimmers, although adult supervision is always recommended.

Materials used for barnbassänger vary. Permanent installations are usually made of concrete, fiberglass, or vinyl liners, similar to larger pools. Inflatable versions, popular for home use, are typically constructed from durable PVC or vinyl. Many barnbassänger are also equipped with simple filtration systems to maintain water quality, though regular cleaning and water changes are crucial due to the smaller volume of water. These pools play an important role in early childhood water safety education and recreational activities.
