Spanish term

Pileta de lona / piscina de lona

Spanish to English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Hola a todos. Intento encontrar el término para decir "pileta (piscina) de lona" en inglés. En Argentina la marca más conocida (y que le dio el nombre genérico al producto) es "Pelopincho". Seguramente algún argentino viviendo en el exterior sepa mejor cómo se llaman estas piletas en inglés.
Es una pileta para niños para bañarse en verano (no lo suficientemente grande para nadar ni para hacer clavados) construida de lona y sostenida por un marco de caños de metal con patas del mismo material.
¡Gracias!

Standard name in UK, perhaps not in US?

wading pool

If the translation is for the US, these are called wading pools.

Take a 6' child's wading pool and carefully drill 3/4" to 1" holes every 12-18" around the circumference of the pool, 2" up from the base of the pool. ...

También encontré "soft-sided pools" (pero me sigue gustando más la primera opción que te di).

metal-framed canvas pool

Creo que cubre los requisitos básicos ya que hay piscinas pequeñas de lona que son inflables y carecen de soportes de metal.
