Hi Addison,

Don't know the size of kids that you are talking about, but our two grandsons in the 8 to 10 year old range have great fun capsizing and climbing back into a Grebe. Doesn't seem to be a problem. Good luck on your building and yell if you have any other questions. BTW the plans that Bob mentioned have both S&G and strip versions.
