Popular Pool Toys and Floats
Choose the perfect pool toys and floats to entertain your guests during your next pool day.
Pool Noodles
What child or adult doesn’t love a good pool noodle? You can’t go wrong with a classic pool noodle or noodle chair. From noodle hockey to noodle races and everything in between, it’s a great idea to keep plenty of noodles on hand for the kids or to have around during pool parties.
Pool Sports Nets
Bring your love of friendly competition to the pool. Pool volleyball nets and basketball nets either attach to the pool edge or have inflatable poles that float on the water. Most pool nets come with floating balls for a complete game set.
Floating Pool Games
If you prefer more leisurely games while floating, consider getting some inflatable pool games. Inflatable beer pong tables and floating card tables are great for adults, while inflatable ring-toss games are fun for kids.
Pool Loungers
Since you’re going to be in the water anyway, you may as well relax. How does an inflatable lounger or an inflatable raft sound? They come in different sizes that can fit one person or multiple people. Some loungers have sunshades to protect you from ultraviolet rays, and others have cup holders so you can float with your favorite beverage.
Floating Drink and Snack Holders
Keep your drinks and pool snacks accessible while you’re in the water. Bright, inflatable drink and snack holders add personality to your pool and ensure your refreshments are always nearby. If you want to keep your drinks cool, consider using an inflatable floating cooler.

Pool Fountains
A pool fountain isn’t just about good looks; it also serves a purpose. It helps cool the pool water temperature by as much as four degrees Fahrenheit, and it improves circulation and prevents stagnant water, boosting and improving the pool’s filtration system. Choose from floating fountains or fountains that connect to the pool’s return fittings.
Waterproof Speakers
Bring your music to the pool with a floating waterproof Bluetooth speaker. Choose one that you can connect to your phone or computer to stream your favorite playlist.
Floating Pool Lights
The fun doesn’t have to stop at sunset. Floating LED pool lights create an inviting nighttime atmosphere to help keep the party going. While powered on, solar-powered lights charge during the day and automatically turn on at dusk. They’re perfect for a nighttime swim, an intimate gathering or a full-on party.
Beyond the Toys: Lounging Poolside
Anyone can jump in the pool and have a good time, but it takes a certain finesse to lounge by the pool and make it look effortless. Make sure you have the right things around the pool for lazing the day away. And don’t forget about storing pool toys.
Lounge Chairs, Canopies and Gazebos
A pool isn’t just for swimming; it’s also a nice place to lounge, whether in or out of the sun. It all starts with the perfect lounger. Chaise lounge chairs and other furniture are great for guests who want to dry off after spending time in the pool or work on their tan. Space permitting, consider adding a canopy or even a gazebo for those times when you want to relax in the shade and out of the splash zone.
Towel Racks
Hang your wet towels on a weighted poolside towel rack so they can dry while you’re swimming. These racks hold multiple towels, so they’re ideal for families or parties.
Pool Toys Storage
When the day is over and it’s time to put the toys away, make sure they’re all accounted for. Organize and secure your pool toys with pool toy racks and deck bins. These specially designed storage options are perfect for outdoor accessories.
