What do you use for swimming?

Ok so now I don't feel bad that I have geese and no pond. Everyone one keeps saying "oh you need a pond for your geese"...
I think I may dig a hole and set the kiddie pool in the ground a bit so they can get in and out without falling. Thanks for the input.

i was thinking of doing that to but wouldn't it be hard to dump out the pool if its in the ground?

Sydney has a point there . . . ask me how I know

You do great to dig a pretty darn deep hole, like twice as deep as the kiddie pool, fill it half way with gravel, and then purchase something with a drain you can unscrew and let the water drain out of into the gravel. Providing your soil drains decently.

I used an above the ground kiddie pool with some large flat bricks/concrete blocks for a ladder. Usually geese/ducks will ignore these and hurl themselves over the edge, though. What worked best was to have a wide area of bricks/concrete blocks so it looks more "natural" to them, like a rise in the land. You'd be surprised how diligent they are getting into the water, though.
