Fisher Price Fridays - Little People Swimming Pool

As promised last week today I'll be sharing the Little People Swimming Pool #2526 on Fisher Price Fridays.  The pool was made between 1986-1989.  It is a simple set with a basic plastic pool base, 8 pieces and 2 people.


The set came with two little people, a boy and a girl.  The boy pictured is original set but the girl isn't.  She should be a blond girl wearing a blue dress.  My green lounge chair is also the wrong color it should be yellow.


The lifeguard chair and life preserver (which attaches to a hook the chair and can be worn by a little person in need of saving) came in either green or yellow.  The chair is exclusive to this set.  The life preserver came in either yellow or white and was later used (in white) on the cruise boat #2524.  Before the pool in other sets the life preserver was always yellow, this is the first set to come in white.

The slide came in either yellow, orange or green.  It is the same slide that was used in other sets including the #929 Nursery School and #923 Play Family School.   

The umbrella table is similar to other sets with umbrellas, but it fits in the base rather than standing alone.  It was exclusive to this pool set.  There are color variations in this piece as well including a yellow table with either a green or orange top.

The lounge chairs in the set were used in many previous FPLP (Fisher Price Little People) sets.  However, this was the first set that made the chair in orange instead of just yellow (the green is from a different set).  The grill is a special piece, with a lid that opens and closes.  It was also used in the #272 Lounge and Grill and the #260 Dollhouse Patio Sets, which are not FPLP but Dollhouse sets.

Like the Playground #2525 there are no lithographs on this set.  The pool deck has stones and boards designed in the plastic.  The bottom of the pool says Fisher Price.

The diving board comes in either white and green or white and yellow and is another piece exclusive to this set.

Here's how my daughter played with the pool recently.  Looks like she used an orange slide that time.

Stay safe in the pool, watch out for grumpy lifeguards. :)
