The goofy design of the pool resembles a shark with its mouth open which seems rather novel in aesthetic, but actually serves a very innovative purpose. The upper portion of the mouth allows kids to stay in the pool without being exposed to sunlight, which in turn will help to reduce the occurrence of [sunburns and overheating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mineral-gel-sunscreen). The Roarin' Shark Inflatable Pool features a see-through window in the rear to allow children and parents a way to see out and in, respectively. The pool is suitable for young swimmers aged two and up. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Uv-blocking Kiddie Pools:** UV-blocking technology in kiddie pools offers sun protection for children. - **Shark-inspired Pool Designs:** Novelty design elements in kiddie pools provide innovative sun protection features. - **Transparent Pool Features:** See-through windows in kiddie pools allow for enhanced safety and visibility. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Outdoor Recreation:** The outdoor recreation industry can explore incorporating UV-blocking technology in their products. - **Children's Product Manufacturing:** Manufacturers of children's products can incorporate innovative design elements to enhance sun protection features. - **Safety Equipment Manufacturing:** Safety equipment manufacturers can explore the development of transparent windows for enhanced visibility in their products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Water-Friendly Sun Shades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bote-hangout-shade.md) - [Kid-Friendly UV Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunnypatch.md) - [Playful Sun-Safe Garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunsafe-garments.md) - [Inclusive Beach Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inclusive-beach-essentials.md) - [All-in-One Splash Pads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turtle-splash-and-bubbles.md) - [Solar-Powered Pool Monitoring Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarpowered-pool-monitoring.md) - [Stylistic Lightweight Beach Shades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-swim-shady.md) - [Humorous Cocktail-Inspired Pull Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buzzballz-pool.md) - [Self-Inflating Kids Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-swimwear.md)
