Abstract
Described is a swimming pool divider that can be used to create a separated, shallow pool within a larger in-ground pool that is constructed for use by children. The swimming pool divider includes a first panel disposed vertically within a pool and secured about the pool's entryway, such as the pool's stairs. The first panel is substantially rectangular and is secured to the pool walls on opposing sides of the entryway by means of suction cups. A second panel is hingedly attached to a middle portion of the first panel. The second panel can be unfolded so that it is horizontal and perpendicular to the first panel, wherein the second panel acts as the floor for the separated pool area. Alternatively, the second panel can be folded for storage such that it rests flush against the first panel.
