Having lifeguarded and coached swim teams for six years (yea, it's been a few years), most of my summers have been spent around swimming pools, lakes and water. It's fun, it's relaxing, it cools you down when it's hot outside and it's just plain old something almost everyone loves to do.
What makes swimming pools and water sports even more fun is a great pool float, inflatable water slide, or any other number of fun water toys. Whether you just want to float around on the water by yourself, or share your floating experience with your friends and family members, there's a fun pool float for it all!
They didn't make pool floats like these when I was a kid, but oh how fun these are. We'll share with you some of our favorite pool floats and water toys and give you a few pointers on what you might want to consider when purchasing pool floats for yourself and your kids.
Inflatable Pool Floats For Singles, Doubles And More
and pool float pointers to consider
Pool Float Pointer #1: Consider Comfort!
You need to be comfy in your pool float and not feel like you're constantly struggling to stay on. A pool float such as this Breeze Inflatable Water Toy has a head/neck rest which allows you to look around and take in the view while you're floating, plus it's just really comfy. This pool float also has an inset with elevated sides so you won't slip out or fall off.
Pool Float Pointer #2: Consider Cupholders And Storage Areas!
If you're looking to spend more than a few minutes floating around, then you might want to purchase a pool float that has cupholders, and possibly other storage compartments. The Breeze Inflatable Water Toy shown above does have cupholders, and this Sun Odyssey Inflatable Pool Lounger And Pool Float shown below also has cupholders and a compartment in the middle to store your extra drinks, sun lotion, or whatever else you need while floating around.
Pool Float Pointer #3: Consider Floating With Your Kids And Friends!
What a better way to spend some time with your kids then on a double inflatable pool float. Or how about catching up on the latest with your spouse or friends. This Ahh-Qua Lounger Pool Float can be used as a single float or get twice the fun by floating with your family/friends. It also has head rests for comfort and cupholders/cooler storage, so it's got it all!
Pool Float Pointer #4: Have Fun!
Pool Float Pointer #5: Consider Durability!
Nylon covering and heavy gauge PVC may be what you're looking for in a longer lasting pool float and inflatable water float . This Siesta Lounge Pool Float is made of durable heavy gauge PVC and has a durable nylon full cover. Oh, and it also has those cupholders!
Pool Float Pointer #6: Consider Covering!
If you want to just relax on the water in the shade, then this Cabriolet Pool Lounger may be just what you need to COVER UP!
