Inflatable ice bath

An inflatable pool comprising:

• a floor panel;
• a sidewall connected to the floor panel and being formed of a drop stitch material having a plurality of internal structural support members, the sidewall being transitional between an inflated configuration and a deflated configuration, a volume of the sidewall increasing and the plurality of internal structural support members being disposed in tension as the sidewall transitions from the deflated configuration toward the inflated configuration, the sidewall and the floor panel defining a pool reservoir when the sidewall is in the inflated configuration;
• an inlet valve extending through the sidewall and in communication with the pool reservoir;
• an outlet valve extending through the sidewall an in communication with the pool reservoir;
• the inlet valve and the outlet valve being operable in concert with each other to achieve a prescribed circulation through the pool reservoir.

A method of forming an inflatable pool, the method comprising the steps of:

• forming at least two voids in a panel assembly including:
• an inner panel;
• an outer panel opposite the inner panel and defining an enclosure therebetween;
• and
• a plurality of threads, each thread being connected to the inner panel and the outer panel;
• each void being formed at least in the inner panel;
• integrating an inflation valve extending into the panel assembly;
• integrating at least one valve extending through the panel assembly;
• and
• forming the panel assembly into a sidewall having a pair of straight portions and a pair of opposing rounded portions, each rounded portion being formed by closing one of the at least two voids, the sidewall being inflatable and configured to transition between a deflated configuration and an inflated configuration, the volume of the enclosure increasing as the sidewall transitions from the deflated configuration toward the inflated configuration.
