Negatives:

  1. If you're a serious swimmer, an aboveground pool may not be right for you
  2. Size restrictions

  3. "Deep end" is usually no more than 4-5 feet
  4. Usually no diving board, slide, or fancy waterfalls
  5. Harder to lap swim due to its restrictive size
  6. May not be able to have an above ground swimming pool designed to match your backyard or the design of your house
