Top 10 Pool Toys for Summer
Long Float Lounger
When it's time to take a break from all the excitement of your backyard pool party, there's nothing better than lounging on an inflatable pool float for some ultimate relaxation. Or even relaxing at the end of the day with a nice cold soak.
This lounger is by far the favorite in our house. I also really love that is doesn't have to be blown up, but rather it is similar to a bean bag material that floats on top of the water. It is perfect for soaking up the sun, sipping on a cold drink, and just taking a moment to unwind. Adults and kids of all ages love it.
Oversize Tube Floats
Some of the best pool floats are a classic tube. These tubes are even better for lounging in our liner pool because they are a larger size at 42 inches. My 6 ft tall daughter can easily fit into one quite comfortably.
I love the bright colors of these fun floats for summertime. But keep in mind that these oversized tubes will need to be inflated.
With various styles and designs available, you can find the perfect inflatable lounge to suit your personal taste and comfort preferences. They can even come with a cup holder! And don't forget about something for those little ones - a puddle jumper or cute baby floats are worth investing in. So, kick back, relax, and enjoy some well-deserved downtime in the ultimate swimming pool luxury.
Pool Noodles for All Ages
When you're ready to jump back into the pool time fun, don't forget to grab a pool noodle for endless entertainment in the water. Fun for younger children and older kids, these pool toys can be used for floating, racing, and even as part of a game. Kids and adults alike will love the versatility that comes with these simple yet entertaining pool accessories.
Our pool noodles are a little more costly than ones you just grab from a dollar store. However, it is worth the cost when you consider that we have had them for three years. And they are still going strong! Whether you're looking to relax or engage in some friendly games, pool noodles are a must-have addition to your summer pool toys.
Water Basketball Hoop Pool Toys
For those who crave some friendly competition in the pool, water basketball hoops are popular choices for your summer fun. Showcase your shooting skills, dunk like a pro or engage some competitive water games.
You can often find these at the public pool, but it is worth it to buy your own if you have a basketball lover.
Swim-Through Rings
Swim-through rings are a fun and challenging addition to your pool toys collection. These rings will put your agility to the test as you swim through them underwater, trying to beat your friends in a friendly competition. Not only will swim-through rings provide hours of entertainment, but they will also help improve your swimming skills and coordination in the water. My kids love these!
Water Blasters
If you think that water guns or any other type of squirter is just for little kids, you'd be very wrong. Adults and teens alike can have just as much fun in a water war. Another good idea is to set up a target for shooting practice with your water guns.
Inflatable Pool Slide
When it comes to inflatable rafts, have you considered adding an inflatable slide to the mix? An inflatable pool slide will provide endless entertainment, offering a fun way to cool off and make a splash.
With its easy setup and durable design, an inflatable pool slide is the perfect addition to any poolside gathering. Get ready to slide into summer fun with this must-have pool toy that is sure to bring joy and laughter to your pool day.
Water Games Pool Toys
Exciting water games are a great way to keep everyone entertained while having a blast. With a variety of options to choose from, you can mix and match different games to create a customized experience that will keep everyone entertained throughout the day.
One of our favorite water games is playing with our watermelon ball. This ball has been well loved for group play. You can dribble, kick, bounce or pass it underwater for a variety of games. And keep in mind that it is full of water, so it does sink to the bottom of the pool but then will slowly rise to the surface of the water.
Here are a few other games that are super fun for the pool.
- Water volleyball net with either beach balls or an inflatable volleyball
- Crossnet H20
- Inflatable ring toss
- Floating darts
And don't forget that you can play all of these games at night too, with some fun options for pool lighting, including underwater lights!
Diving Pool Toys
Let's explore another level of fun with dive toys for some underwater excitement. These dive toys are probably best for big kids, but definitely a good option for young kids who can swim. Diving toys are sure to keep everyone entertained as you test your swimming skills.
Think of things like: diving rings, diving sticks or underwater treasure gems.
Refillable Water Balloons
And last but not least, refillable water balloons are an awesome replacement for traditional water balloons. They are especially ideal for little ones who prefer to stick to the shallow end of the pool.
However, my older girls love to use these just as much as the younger kids. Plus, they can last for a long time. Grab one of your sturdy beach bags and throw a set of these in to take to the pool.
