Lol that’s what I’m thinking.
I shot an arrow from my compound bow into my parents house and I still haven’t owned up to it and that was 15 years ago.

That’s what I was thinking. My In-Ground pool is triple the size of that above grounder and mine is 30,000 gallons
Pool is 30' in diameter. Here's the formula I used.
Your radius squared is the radius multiplied by the radius. Finally, measure the pool's depth. For example, if your pool's diameter is 18 feet, your radius is 9 feet, and your depth is 4 feet: 3.14 × (9 x 9) × 4 x 7.5 = 7630.2 gallons.
3.14 x (15x15) x 4 x 7.5 = 21,195. Be sure and do the multiplication in the parenthesis first.
Or this...
| Above Ground Swimming Pool Water Volumes by Size | ||
|---|---|---|
| 24ft Round | 11,895 gals | 13,594 gals |
| 27ft Round | 15,054 gals | 17,205 gals |
| 30ft Round | 18,585 gals | 21,240 gals |
| 33ft Round | 22,488 gals | 25,700 gals |
Damn, this is why most threads go sideways - y'all don't give anyone credit if it doesn't align with your thoughts. I've had this pool for 7 years and have a pretty good idea how much water it holds. I actually think it's 32' in diameter but going with 30' to be a little conservative because next would be "that ain't 32' diameter" and 4' deep("you sure it's that deep? Looks like maybe 3 1/2'"). GEEZ!
Now, to give you armchair pool repair folks an 'out'. The water level was down a foot or so due to it being winterized. Go ahead with the "that's what I meant" replies.
Appreciate all the replies. Nothing further needed.
A few caveats:
1) Flexseal.
2) That hole ain’t 8” off the ground, OP. You been lying to your wife this whole time about length and height?
3) Michulek shot a 9mm revolver right around 1k yards, and it still had enough power to pop a balloon and ring steal. So, yes, bullets can do damage much further than one might think.
4). Redneck pool. The time to replace those is every year. So, you’re overdue.

Apologies on my part - didn't catch the sarcasm! I guess after talking to the insurance agent and learning our deductible would be $3150 on a $3400 repair and after Allstate cuts me a check for the $250 difference she confirmed our rates would be going up since filing a claim I'm a little on edge this morning. $*%&*#&$#!
Insurance is one of the biggest ripoff/scams there is you pay for a policy for 20 years and then you file one small claim and either they raise the rates or cancel your policy, they dont want to pay anything out they just wont you to pay in so they can get their paychecks.
Not really a scam. Most home owner policies carry a 1% deductible. However, depending on one’s willingness to pay monthly amounts, that can be adjusted.
Insurance is NOT for something like this incident in most people’s world. Insurance SHOULD be used for the fire that completely guys your place, the tornado that rips off your roof or the busted water heater that inadvertently floods your house doing $10’s of thousands of dollars in damage.
I would not use my insurance for what is deemed a “temporary, above-ground, non-asset home effect”.
Filing a claim for “every little thing” and not taking on some financial responsibility makes you a higher risk customer, thus raising the rates.
I had two total loss tractor claims last year and am shocked the company didn’t cancel me.
