A skirt of inflatable insulating panels detachably secured to the exterior facing walls of a swimming pool, where the walls of the pool are formed by a plastic liner supported by a metal frame. Preferably the insulating panels are made from a transparent material, thereby allowing solar energy to pass through the material and heat up the pool wall that will in turn heat up the water. The panels are preferably inflatable ribbed panels made form transparent plastic material, and more than one panel are detachably attached together to form a continuous ring around the outside of the pool. The panels are detachably attached to each via one or more zips 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 secured along two opposing ends of each panel. The panels may be joined in a manner that allows the support legs of the swimming pool to be covered or for the panels to pass in front or behind the legs. The panels are secured together around the pool in their deflated state and once inflated will contract around the pool to increase contact with the walls of the pool. |
