Abstract
Open pool forming a reservoir for liquid, especially swimming pool, of the out-of-ground type with a flexible wall (2) and an inflatable tubular chamber (3) constituting a floating ring which defines the opening of the pool, characterized in that, in the service position of the pool (1), the upper peripheral region (5) of the flexible wall (2) adjoining the tubular chamber (3) is inclined, relative to the remaining underlying part of the wall, towards the inside of the pool, by virtue of which the upper peripheral region (5) forms a frustoconical reentrant rim underlying the tubular chamber (3) and capable of holding the tubular chamber (3) up when the latter is subjected to a downwards force.
