MYRTLE BEACH, SC - It doesn't take much. Kids can drown -- in only 2 inches of water. Small inflatable pools are easy to tip over and empty, but for the larger ones that are more difficult to drain, it means you're leaving a drowning hazard up all summer long.
In the dog days of Summer, we're all looking for a little relief, but a study released Monday by the American Academy of Pediatrics says not so fast, danger is lurking in your backyard.
"These pools are so large that it's unlikely you'll dump the water out regularly," says Don Mays of Consumer Reports.

Not really, unless you put it on some kind of raised platform so it can continue to get sun and water. If you smother the grass so it can't get light and water then it will die. It's just something you will have to deal with when the pool is gone.
You are correct, it is the lack of light which makes the grass go yellow. I should'nt worry too much though, grass soon makes a recovery, and once again will become green
Hmmm, the grass needs to be able to photosynthesise, so without light it is doomed. Unless you're planning on building a large structure I don't think there's much you can do!
if your worried about killing the grass then dont get the pool...there is no way to stop the grass from dying underneath it..
