A Better Inflatable Swimming Pool

 

How many times have you purchased a cheap, inflatable pool for the kids only to have it punctured or otherwise damaged half way into the hot summer months?  In my family, it was the dog who decided to take a bite out of the pool’s poor quality plastic wall, and no amount of duct tape or other “quick fix” idea worked for very long.

We, as parents, begin each summer with that ever-renewing feeling of hope — the one that tells us that this year will be the year that the pool survives the whole summer.  So, we proceed to buy the inflatable pool.  Our hopes are often dashed, though, within a few short weeks, and we exclaim that “never again” will we buy a cheap inflatable pool.

What we really need is an inflatable pool that is good quality but inexpensive, and that will last more than one single summer.  I’m happy to report that there is such an animal.  It’s called the Fast Set Inflatable Swimming Pool.

Fast Set Inflatable Swimming Pools make it easy to set up a quality “temporary” pool in your backyard or driveway.  Simply lay out the swimming pool on a flat surface, inflate the collar with air, and add water. The self adjusting collar floats its way to the top of the pool, pulling the rugged walls along with it. Constructed of heavy duty marine grade vinyl, this inflatable pool is built to last more than one season.  It even comes equipped with its own pump and filter, as well as a 30-day warranty.

Add a Dazzling New Pool Light

Pool Light

Adding a new and exciting pool light can make your swimming experience even more enjoyable. Underwater Light Shows project colorful, dancing underwater lights onto your pool bottom and sides, creating a beautiful display. Many also come with a fountain. With this combination, you get entertainment both under and on top of the water. Other lights look like floating pieces of art. The Ocean Art Jellies are beautiful floating jellyfish-like lights. Super bright LED lights illuminate the jellyfish cap and spread soft light down into the tentacles. They float gracefully across the water’s surface, creating a beautiful effect. For a more eco-friendly choice in pool lights, there is the Solar Floating Pool Light. Solar cells store sunlight during the day to illuminate nights at your pool. They are offered in a rainbow of changing colors and stay illuminated for up to 12 hours. They even turn off automatically at dawn.

Adding some new floats to your pool setup can provide fun and excitement for every member of your family, young to old!

For the small ones in your family,  you could purchase a Pool Cube Pool Float! It can provide protection from the sun and hours of fun in two different ways. Place it in the pool to provide a covered float for children to relax in or swim in and out of or place it out of the pool to provide a special splash pool for younger children to enjoy. Either way, it is sure to be a hit!

For older children, consider adding a float that promotes play time and will entertain for hours. The Starfighter Float is a ride-on float that comes complete with a squirt gun. It measures a full 45 inches across and is sure to be a hit with every child at your pool. They will be begging for their turn on the spaceship!

When it comes to adults, relaxation is also the best “fun” available. You should consider the Oversized Cooler Couch to enjoy the peaceful relaxation of floating in your pool while also impressing you friends and family. At 64 inches long and 40 inches wide, you will sit high above the fray while taking in the summer rays! It even comes equiped with a built in cooler that stores cans and ice and two drink holders. With this float, you will certainly be the hit of any party.

Pool Slides Add Spice to Swimming

What’s more super cool than having a swimming pool in your backyard?  Having the twirliest, whirliest pool slide on the side.  It doesn’t matter if you have an in ground pool or an above ground pool, you can still give your family a homestyle water park experience with the right pool slide.  Pool slides spice up any standard swimming pool and offer built-in fun when it comes to family get togethers or neighborhood parties.

Look for pool slides with rugged, sturdy construction and non-skid steps to ensure safety when climbing with wet feet.  Most high quality pool slides will come with a plumbing kit that connects to your pump/filter system and deck anchors that allow you to secure the structure to the surface surrounding the pool.
