20 products to take pool afternoons to another level

Swimming pools are one of the places we enjoy the most in the summer. A celestial and luminous space whose context is always entertaining: fun, relaxation, refreshments and games are easily born around it, especially if there are boys and girls involved.

This last experience can still be enhanced if you have good products and accessories, ideal complements to vary the dynamics and renew your taste for a booby. In the following article we collect toys, loungers, floats and more, to turn the pool into a real water park of attractions.

A classic game, but this time with an innovation: instead of disposable balls – which also pollute and dirty a lot – there are high quality latex balls. Once filled with water, they are closed by a magnet and on contact with their target, the target opens and overturns. Once it explodes, you can refill it as many times as you want. Lasting fun.

Having an Aluga cushion is an investment that will promote moments of pool therapy. Once you find yourself floating on this comfortable giant backrest, you will feel at absolute peace. At least until someone asks you! Its surface is made of hipora fabric, waterproof, grass resistant and with UV filter. Inside it is filled with high density expanded polyethylene balls. The cover can easily be washed in the washing machine in cold water. In the brand’s advertisement, they claim that they can float with up to two adults on them.

An ideal game for girls and boys, both in age and in spirit. They are two inflatable vinyl water polo goals, but not like the others: in addition to the goal and an inflatable ball, they have plastic meshes – so that we know if it was a goal or not – and they incorporate two stabilizer bags in each goal, which sink to the bottom of the pool so they stay in place. Its dimensions are 140 x 89 x 81 cm.

In addition to being fun, these toys can be very useful for learning to dive. Although out of the water there are only a few two-ended rods, underwater these sink and form an arch on the bottom. Thus, they become underwater tunnels that must be crossed with the best possible diving technique. It is suitable for children aged 6 and over, designed for those who want to progress in immersion. These are two units.

Let’s continue diving. While anything that sinks can be used for play, the idea isn’t to end up throwing rocks or coins into the pool. More fun – and less dangerous – is to use soft, shaped objects, like this little monster. When he is thrown into the water, and as soon as he comes into contact with him, a light comes on, which makes his search in the depths easier and more fun. Includes batteries.

There is a whole world of tanks in the form of animals. The options are varied – some simpler, though some more exuberant – so you should be guided by your comfort and taste. We chose this swan because it is almost a boat, which can accommodate up to two people seated or one lying down. It is also reduced.

The difference between this inflatable and the previous one —besides the shape, which changes the kitsch swan for a tender killer whale— is mainly the position of use, since you can climb on it as if you were riding it. It can be used by children and adults and includes handles to hold on to.

Another fun sport to play in the water is basketball. This inflatable set includes a hoop and a ball. The size of the goalkeeper is 67 x 55 cm, so it is a children’s game that adults can participate in. Playing basketball can help both the hand/eye coordination of the little ones, as well as the older ones.

A classic and essential pool float that never goes out of style. It is the traditional noodle or noodle, this long foam in which you can float, ride it like a small horse or use it as you want. It is a very good aid for beginners in the water, but it never hurts those who need help to feel more secure.

For those who have buses, this float can be the right one to have the first interactions in the water. It contains four air chambers and resists up to 15 kilos (that is, it is useful for up to about 3 years). Its dimensions are 79×79 cm.

A reliable weapon is this launcher from the famous brand NERF. If there are children and there is a swimming pool, you cannot miss someone pulling water. This model is very easy to fill: just dip the tip of the gun into the pool and pull the plunger handle. Pushing it again will get everyone wet.

It’s another alternative to the water launcher, but a bit more user-friendly: as it’s made of EVA rubber, if for some reason there are bumps, they shouldn’t be as strong. In addition, just by dipping it in the pool, it recharges, then aims and fires by pressing the plunger. It’s that simple and fun. It has an air pressure of up to 11 m and its dimension is 50 cm.

Four meters long, this snake-shaped pipe is pierced with small holes from which the water comes out. As soon as we saw it, two uses came to mind: the first, in patios where there is no pool, where it can be a very useful replacement for cooling the little ones. The second, and in places where there is a swimming pool, can be for when the children come out, as a playful dynamic to eliminate chlorine from the skin. To make it work, you just need to connect it to a hose.

It’s another classic for kids who can’t or are learning to swim. By putting them in their little arms, they can lean on them from start to finish, making them very safe and reliable (although their use should always be supervised). This model is made of PVC and has a variety of colors, so you can put different shades on each arm, to give more variety to the bathroom. It is recommended for children from 2 to 5 years old.

Why buy just one set when you can have four! This set includes a 147 x 75 x 85 cm net —for a game of tennis or water volleyball—, a set of floating targets with rings, two rackets, a ball, a Frisbee and a ball with a bowler hat inflatable. With all this, there simply can’t be any boredom, and it’s suitable for both adults and children.

An easy game — and one that can last for hours — to entertain groups of children is to pick up ping-pong balls from water. The idea is to split the group in two and whoever collects the most balls wins. You can also add a bit more suspense and assign numbers to the balls, so whoever has the most points wins. In case you do the latter idea, make sure the down is waterproof.

Playing water ball is a fun activity, as well as a good exercise to do while you are having fun. For this, no ball compares to the water polo ball, which does not deteriorate due to humidity and has the particularity of being very adherent, which allows you to handle it better. Today, this model is discounted by 37%: its original price is $16,000.

It’s a novelty. It is a PVC ball which, when filled with water, sinks and allows people to hit it, bounce it and pass it to the bottom of the pool, without it then floating. You can play like on land, but in water, and even invent your own dynamics.

If you let your dog into the pool – and if he dares too – afternoons in the water can be even more fun. For that you can use this The water-resistant frisbee is made of foam and floats, so it won’t be difficult for your pet to retrieve it. The material promises to be abrasion resistant, able to withstand the most biting dogs. And yes: it can also be caught by humans.

There are daring dogs, which when they see a swimming pool, they come to enter it. But there are also others who are a bit more cautious. If you want your pet to interact more with the water, or if you feel they want to but are worried about drowning, a good alternative is to use a small pool like this. Perfect for animals to have fun and have the opportunity to cool off on the hottest days. This model can also be folded, is non-slip, is made of PVC and contains wooden boards on the edges, to give it greater rigidity. Its dimensions are 30 x 80 cm wide.
