Floating Cooler
No more back and forth to the “land cooler” to grab a drink. With a floating cooler, you can quench your thirst without ever having to leave the pool. Easy and quick to inflate, floating coolers are the perfect accessory for all in-ground pools and above-ground pools. They can also come equipped with cup holders for a handy spot to rest your drink. You can also DIY a floating cooler by simply measuring out some rope around your cooler and feeding it through a pool noodle to fit snuggly under the handles.
Floating Putting Green
Want to practice your putts and chip-ins in the backyard? A floating putting green is the perfect pool accessory for any golf enthusiast. Perfect for parties, your guests are sure to be entertained while they try to sink a hole-in-one. Best suited for in-ground pools, floating putting greens come in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit pools of any size.
Floating Pool Speakers
What’s a pool party without your favorite summer jams? Perfect for both in-ground pools and above-ground pools, floating pool speakers are a must-have pool accessory for any backyard. Equipped with Bluetooth capabilities, you can easily pair your smartphone to play music or even listen to the play-by-play of your favorite sports team on the radio.
There are many available high-quality pool speakers that range in both price and capability, so ask an expert at your local pool supply store to make sure you get the best bang for your buck.
Inflatable Pool Floats
If you’re looking to step up from pool noodles, why not try some inflatable pool floats? They’ve skyrocketed in popularity due to the availability of oversized floats that can hold multiple people.
