Poly, AKL, WL - Best Swimming

[Jalva22]

Please vote for the best swimming between these 3 resorts. I would appreciate it if you would consider it as seen through the eyes of a 5 yr old and a 9 yr old. Please consider pool theming, slides that a child this age would use (both can swim, neither are strong swimmers), and how crowded the pool normally is. For instance, I've heard the Poly's pool is nicely themed but can be extremely crowded. Thanks!

AKL is a very large pool with zero entry area and a great slide. The pool never felt crowded to us and we always found a beach chair.

On the other hand I love the WL but the pool is on the small side and there's no zero entry, which my 4 year old loves because he doesn't swim yet.

Given your children's ages and swimming ability, I would definitely recommend the AKL pool. Zero entry is great, and the slide is short and unintimidating. Also, the pool is very large, uncrowded, beautifully landscaped, and is in close proximity to animal viewing. The lounge chairs are easy to come by, and it's very easy to keep an eye on your kids. Have fun, whatever you choose!
