Seasonal Highlight: Aquatic Accessories
What would summer be without the pool parties, the lazy beach days, or the days lost at the local lake or pond? While protecting your skin from sunburn and keeping the kids hydrated and safe are always the top priority, there are certain aquatic accessories, one could say, that make the days memorable for more than just the sunburn (or lack thereof). Whether it’s a day at the pool, the beach, the lake or pond, there’s a toy or game to keep the entire family occupied.
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?
