Above-ground frame pool having a translucent wall portion

1. A liner for an above-ground frame pool, the liner comprising:

a bottom wall; and

a sidewall coupled to the bottom wall and defining a water cavity together with the bottom wall, the sidewall having a substantially cylindrical shape, and the sidewall comprising a translucent portion facilitating viewing between the water cavity and an exterior of the above-ground frame pool, the translucent portion extending over at least 75 percent of a circumference of the sidewall and having a substantially semi-cylindrical shape.

2. The liner of claim 1 , wherein the sidewall further comprises:

a lower sidewall portion coupled to the bottom wall and the translucent portion opposite the bottom wall; and

an upper sidewall portion coupled to the translucent portion opposite the lower sidewall portion.

3. The liner of claim 2 , wherein the sidewall further comprises an intermediate sidewall portion coupling the lower sidewall portion and the upper sidewall portion, the intermediate sidewall portion comprising:

the translucent portion; and

an opaque portion coupled to the translucent portion, the opaque portion having a substantially semi-cylindrical shape.

4. The liner of claim 3 , wherein the translucent portion is a first translucent portion, the intermediate sidewall portion further comprises a second translucent portion, the second translucent portion having a substantially semi-cylindrical shape, and the opaque portion disposed circumferentially between the first translucent portion and the second translucent portion.

5. A liner configured to be supported by a frame assembly of an above-ground frame pool, the liner comprising:

a bottom wall;

a sidewall comprising a substantially cylindrical shape and coupled to the bottom wall and defining a water cavity together with the bottom wall, the sidewall comprising:

a lower sidewall portion coupled to the bottom wall;

an intermediate sidewall portion coupled to the lower sidewall opposite the bottom wall, the intermediate sidewall portion comprising a translucent portion facilitating viewing between the water cavity and an exterior of the above-ground frame pool, the translucent portion comprising a substantially semi-cylindrical shape defining an arc having an angle of about 135 degrees to about 170 degrees;

an upper sidewall portion coupled to the intermediate sidewall portion opposite the lower sidewall portion; and

a sleeve coupled to the sidewall and configured to couple the liner to the frame assembly.

6. The liner of claim 5 , wherein the intermediate sidewall portion further comprises an opaque portion.

7. The liner of claim 6 , wherein the translucent portion is a first translucent portion and the intermediate sidewall portion further comprises a second translucent portion, the opaque portion being disposed between the first translucent portion and the second translucent portion.

8. The liner of claim 7 , wherein the opaque portion is a first opaque portion and the intermediate sidewall portion further comprises a second opaque portion, the second opaque portion being disposed between the first translucent portion and the second translucent portion.

9. The liner of claim 8 , wherein the first opaque portion and the second opaque portion are disposed circumferentially between the first translucent portion and the second translucent portion.

10. An above-ground frame pool comprising:

a frame assembly comprising:

a plurality of horizontal members;

a plurality of vertical members coupled to the plurality of horizontal members;

a liner supported by the frame assembly, the liner comprising:

a bottom wall; and

a sidewall coupled to the bottom wall and defining a water cavity together with the bottom wall, the sidewall comprising an intermediate sidewall portion, the intermediate sidewall portion comprising a translucent portion facilitating viewing between the water cavity and an exterior of the above-ground frame pool, the translucent portion disposed between the water cavity and the plurality of vertical members, and an opaque portion, wherein the translucent portion couples with the opaque portion at a location overlapping at least one of the plurality of vertical members.

11. The above-ground frame pool of claim 10 , wherein the sidewall comprises a substantially cylindrical shape.

12. The above-ground frame pool of claim 11 , wherein the translucent portion comprises a substantially semi-cylindrical shape.

13. The above-ground frame pool of claim 10 , wherein the translucent portion is a first translucent portion and the intermediate sidewall portion further comprises a second translucent portion, the opaque portion being disposed between the first translucent portion and the second translucent portion.

14. The above-ground frame pool of claim 13 , wherein the first translucent portion defines a first arc having an angle of about 135 degrees to about 170 degrees, and the second translucent portion defines a second arc having an angle of about 135 degrees to about 170 degrees.

15. The above-ground frame pool of claim 13 , wherein the opaque portion is a first opaque portion and the intermediate sidewall portion further comprises a second opaque portion, the second opaque portion being disposed between the first translucent portion and the second translucent portion.

16. The above-ground frame pool of claim 10 , wherein the sidewall further comprises an upper sidewall portion coupled to the plurality of horizontal members.

17. The above-ground frame pool of claim 10 , further comprising a tension band disposed around the sidewall and oriented parallel to the translucent portion.

18. The above-ground frame pool of claim 10 , wherein the translucent portion is substantially aligned with a water line of the water cavity.
