The Intex Whale Spray Pool Center is part pool and part sprinkler. A friendly teal whale forms the pool, and its tail curves up and over the water. Connect a garden hose and the tail sends a gentle fountain of water arcing down over the children inside, so they can splash in the pool and dash through the spray at the same time.

That tail sprayer is the whole idea behind this pool. On a hot day the moving water keeps everything cool and gives kids something to chase, run under and giggle about, which holds their attention far longer than still water. The hose attachment needed to run the spray is included in the box.

The whale itself is full of character: a soft teal body with a pink striped belly, big cartoon eyes and rounded side fins the children can lean on. It is a wide, low pool built for a couple of children to sit and play in together rather than a deep swimming pool.

The overall size is 79 x 77 x 36 inches, which is about 6.5 x 6.4 x 3 ft, with the 36 inch height taken up by the tall spraying tail. It is made from sturdy 11-gauge vinyl and has a built-in drain plug so you can run the water out through a hose when playtime is over.

Intex recommends this pool for ages 2 and up, and it should only be set up on flat, level ground. It is a seasonal pool that needs a separate pump to inflate and a garden hose to power the spray. The Intex Whale Spray Pool Center price in Pakistan is Rs. 12,500, reduced from Rs. 14,000.
