Throw Easy Summer Pool Parties with Pool Games

Comment

Summer birthdays and holidays make perfect opportunities to entertain friends and family in the backyard swimming pool.  The pool is the only entertainment needed, so be sure to have plenty of pool toys and games available.  Two favorites among kids and adults alike are the Water Arcade Pool Float and the 3 in 1 Pool Game Set.

Reminiscent of carnival-style water shooting games, the Water Arcade Pool Float challenges three players at a time to a ball-squirting water race.   Thanks to the constant-supply water squirters that come with the float, kids will never run out of water during the race.  Water is supplied directly from the pool.

The 3 in 1 Pool Game Set combines ladder ball, ring toss, and bag toss games in one unit.  These popular pool party games can be played in the pool or at poolside.  Adults and kids can have fun demonstrating their skills or playing for prizes.

When you have a backyard swimming pool, summer birthday parties and holiday celebrations are a snap to host.  Toss in some fun and unique pool games, and you’ll easily keep the crowd entertained.

Pool Floats Offer Possibilities for Backyard Pools

One of the many advantages of owning your own backyard swimming pool is having the freedom to use pool toys and floats to your heart’s content.  Most public pools don’t allow the use of toys or floats, which limits the number of ways the pool can be enjoyed.  Even the most creative kids can grow bored with the public pool when games of Marco Polo and underwater tea parties have been exhausted.  Luckily, no such limitations exist at home.

For kids, one of the best additions you can make to your home swimming pool is a pool float with personality. Pool floats come in all shapes and sizes, but the most fun comes with pool floats that double as interactive pool toys.  Once your child hops on the back of an orca whale or wrestles with an inflatable crocodile, he can use the attached water squirter to engage in a playtime water battle with friends.  Water squirters never need to be refilled because the water is supplied directly from the pool.

Keeping pool floats and pool toys on hand for your backyard swimming pool ensures that your kids can enjoy unlimited possibilities during pool time play — possibilities that are rarely available at the local public pool.

Top Remodeling Trends for 2011

Comment

Tahitian Above Ground Pool
The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) recently released a report that outlined the twelve biggest remodeling trends expected for 2011. Along with going green in larger areas of your home and warming up your interior color palate, one of the top trends is adding a deck and pool to your backyard area (which comes in at number four on the list). Leading experts stated in this study that people are spending more time at home and, therefore, are sprucing up their backyard areas in order to maximize their family relaxation time. A great way to get in on this trend AND stay within your budget is to consider an above ground pool. Above ground pools are available in many sizes and shapes. The unattractive, eye-sore pools of the past are long gone. Above ground pools are now stylish and sleek, blending into any backyard. By adding a beautiful deck around your pool, you will transform  your backyard into the oasis of relaxation and fun that you have always dreamed of! Save additional costs by looking into resin above ground pool decks instead of traditional wood.  They offer the same convenience without the steep price. Don’t miss out on this exciting trend in home renovation.
