For the pool-dwellers:   Check out this affordable Splash Volleyball Game for $29.99 at PoolSupplies.com (complete with ball and net) for the next family pool party or barbeque.  Get everyone in on the game, and get a great workout too!  Just make sure no little kiddies get trampled in all the excitement—designate one adult to be the “lifeguard” for the day, or just the game.  Make sure you pass the duty around—it’s everyone’s responsibility to keep the children safe!

For the beach-bummers:  I’ve always called them “boogie boards”, but the traditional name would be “Bodyboards”.  No matter what you call them, an investment in a good board is totally worth it!  Bodyboards are much easier to learn, use and travel with than surfboards, and often are much less expensive.  Make sure you buy a good quality bodyboard, though, because the cheap foam or plastic ones barely do more than float.  If you’re really in the mood for speed, check out the Turbo IV PP Model Bodyboard 42” starting at $199.99.  A little on the pricey side, but this board has everything you could ever want.  Leash not included, but available at additional price.

And for the lake-lovers:  We know what’s important.  Lakes are for barbeques and outdoor drinking fun.  Check out this fun little invention: a Stowable Floating Cooler!  With extra stability so you don’t lose your drink, this Cooler can hold up to 18 cans of beer!  At only $26.99, there’s no reason not to test it out.   Cooler comes with built-in carry bag and detachable shoulder strap.  Not recommended for the beach, where waves could tip the precious cargo overboard.  Enjoy!

No matter what waterway suits your fancy, there are plenty of aquatic toys to enjoy.  Plenty fine ways to combine comfort, safety and exercise—and why not cool off with a little floatable drink stand as your reward?

Nothing quenches the scorching heat like soaking in a cool pool! When I was a child I could literally spend hours upon hours in a swimming pool. Looking back I can’t even recall what I would do per say - float, imagine, play? But as an adult there are only two things I enjoy doing poolside, and that is drinking and lounging with a drink in my hand.

Which is why I now see the brilliance in purchasing quality poolside furnishings. Take for example the Maravilla Pool and Patio lounge chair, the functional curves of the polyform floatation arms provide stand alone support for patio seating and exceptionally stable water lounging.

The jacquard fabric provides the best combination of superior strength, quality appearance and, multi-season all –weather use.

Designed to support over 250 pounds, this luxury lounge features a fully cushioned seating area with dacron filled pillow, built in drink holders and stainless steel hardware. 

This is truly an awesome lounge chair, serves as floaty, lounge chair or tanning deck chair!

Super fun and cute! Ours didn’t have one of these handy dandy shade covers so your in luck and you can buy the better version.

The Sun Shade Inflatable Pool retails for $24.99 (you save $5.00 off the original price) the shade part is removable in the event you would like to expose your kids to some good old vitamin D, but if they are the color of snow like me and my family then I suggest leaving the shade up.
