Pool Gear That Is Ideal For Kids

By Carmella Watts


Your pool may need some refreshing pool gear to make a difference to your swimming experience this year. It may need some updating to make it more fun and enjoyable for the whole family. There are so many interesting things available, it can be hard to know where to start looking to find the best items.

Water fountains are such fun for the kids; they make swimming go from just moving up and down to maybe having an exciting water fight. Kids love to splash each other and have a great game in the water. These fountains are available in many different designs and will fit most swimming pools.

These fountains can be used for decoration as well; you can make a water feature for your swimming area in a natural-looking way. Imagine the water running down a stone waterfall into your beautiful, clear pool. There are many different ways to add a bit of entertainment. The water cannon is also a fun toy for the children.

Relaxation is what the outdoor area is all about, and so many people like the idea of having a big armchair in the middle of their pools. Along with this accessory you could add a nice glass of something cold and a good book. Or, maybe you would prefer to just lie back and float around the beautiful water on a hot sunny day. In this case, a flat Lilo would be ideal. There are so many options available.

Then there is the expense of having the plumbing installed for both these features. If you have very deep water, then a cheaper option might be to install a balance beam or dueling log. You will need to take into consideration the size of the water surface, as you will need to make sure you have good clearance on all sides. You will then need to decide if you want to have it mounted or suspended.

There are always smaller, cheaper options available, like dive sticks or floating boards. Taking the time to play with your children always makes it more enjoyable for them, so throwing dive rings or sticks and having them retrieve them, is a great way for adults to be involved without having to get into the water. Floating boards are a great device for helping children to learn to swim.

In this nice, relaxing and natural environment, with the beautiful waterfall and the sound of running water, you will need something on which to relax. There are many inflatable options available, and with the great bar that you put in, an armchair would be a nice way to enjoy those cool drinks while still on the water.

The most important piece of pool gear, other than the people, is sun block. Make sure, when you are enjoying playing with the family or are just floating around relaxing, that you slip on a t-shirt, some sunscreen, a hat and a pair of sunglasses to stay protected from that dangerous sun. It is no fun when you get a bad sunburn.
