5 Unique Pool Toys & Accessories for the Whole Family


Because our pool belongs to our townhouse community, my family misses out on some of the fun things we would have if we had a private pool.  Someday we will own a house with a private pool and I already know some of the cool pool toys and accessories I would want for it.  Since there is still plenty of summer left, I wanted to share some of the really unique pool products I have come across as a SwimWays ambassador.

1.  Spring Float - This is one of the neat products that we are not allowed to use in our residential pool.  It is a pool float that folds up into a compact carrying case.  When you are ready to use it, the float pops open with its patented spring technology.  The built-in JetValve allows you to inflate (or deflate) the float easily.  The center of this float is actually mesh, so it cradles your body like a hammock.  I like the idea of the mesh because I would think that this float would be less likely to tip over than a raft-style float.  This float is recommended for ages 15+ and normally retails for $29.95.  You will see the Spring Float in a variety of colors, such as blue, white, aqua, and pink.

Through July 30th, you can receive 20% off SwimWay's entire selection of floats when you checkout using Code: FLOAT2012.



2.  Flood Force Water Cannon - This toys is a batter-free kid-powered pool toy that draws water right from the pool so you never need to stop playing to reload.  There is even a cap to keep the water inside the cannon after it's been filled so that you can take the fun outside of the pool.  This toy is recommended for ages 4+, but I imagine that a child would need to be able to crank the cannon one-handed.  You would definitely want to buy two of these if you want to have a fair fight.



3.  Therma Spring Solar Mat - These solar mats absorb the heat from the sun to help decrease evaporation of your pool water while heating your pool at the same time.  Although these mats measure a large 70"x42", they use the same spring technology as the Spring Float above to fold up compactly for storage.



4.  Swim Fin - This shark fin is not only fun, but it is also a flotation aid for children who do not need a swim vest.  The fin straps onto the child securely without the bulkiness of a vest.  This item is recommended for children ages 4+ and is available in both blue and pink.



5.  Baby Tug Boat - Although we do not have infants or toddlers in our household, I just found this tug boat float to be the cutest thing.  This item has a steering wheel and bells just like a real tug boat.  It also has a bottle/sippy cup holder and a canopy to help keep the sun off baby's delicate skin.  This item is recommended for children ages 9 to 24 months and has four adjustable positions to grow with your child.
