On the pop-up...although I'm bare when I'm in my Jacuzzi, I think you mean "bear." 
I agree with Andy on the splash page. Although it looks really nice, and I love the graphics, it takes forever-and-an-age to load, it's not really clear that clicking on different parts will take you to different pages, and search engines will be looking for text.
I'm sure you want this perfect. Because of that, I would re-work the graphic on the first Pool page. There's a pretty clear line where it's sliced at the top, where the frame used to be.
Also, I assume you will be putting text where the word-graphic is? Otherwise, those surfing with graphics off,sight-disabled people, and search engines will be out of luck.
A note on grammar on the second Pool page...punctuation goes inside the quotation marks.
Good luck with it.
