Just put this up and have swum in it twice already. You definitely need two people to finish putting it up, but you can start with one person. I filled it to the line like it says, but I didn't expect the water to splash out of the corners the way it does. It's not terrible but just unexpected. One other unexpected thing is the cover. It has holes in it designed to prevent water from collecting on top, from rain, I assume. Mosquitoes are a big thing here, and I wanted the cover to handle that problem. The holes aren't huge or anything, but they are enough for them to take over if not cleaned out on a daily basis. Speaking of the cover, the darn thing gets HOT! When I pulled it back yesterday to get in the pool, I would swear I could have made a cup of hot tea with the temperature of that water! That said, I used a telescoping pole to mix the water, and it evened out with the cooler water on the bottom. Just be aware of that. Overall, we are very happy with our purchase for just having it a few days. We are looking forward to many days out in our backyard now.
