New pool owner. Pool toys/floats recs?

[J M S]

First season as a pool owner. Ive been working my butt off to get the area ready to go for the days spent relaxing by the pool. I am now planning on adding some great pool toys and floats. Any recommendations? There are a bazillion options.

Thanks!

You can't have too many pool noodles.

Treat yourself to Frontgate floats. They are the best I've ever owned and they are built to last. Their World's Finest Pool Float (wife's fav) is amazing as is their Luxe Edition King Kai Floats (my fav, I fall to sleep on mine almost every time I'm on it).

Yes, and noodles. Texas Recreation makes the FG floats in Wichita Falls Texas. Lots of nice stuff, and they have a little outlet shop you can buy that stuff in if you're there.

Lazy Buns are the float of choice at our pool with friends and family. But really any "aqua saddle".

Those "Frontgate" floats are sold at Costco for about $90. We love ours~

I just made one of these.
Ran about 25 bucks.
I used a regular hoop net as not to have to constantly pop ball back out.
Did not glue but will twist out of shape a little if the kids continually yank on it.

My 9 year old is obsessed with pool toys. So far we have a heap of noodles....which are great for water aerobics as well! My son has a whale, HUGE turtle that 3 people can sit on, a emoji turd float (thanks Walmart - face palm not joking lol) and an inflatable 2 person boat with oars :|

I ordered the Luxe King Kai(Aqua/calypso)after reading your post and visiting the website, also got a Kai hammock and some monogrammed towels. Just received everything today and it looks top notch, can't wait to try them out once the rain stops. Thanks for the heads up of the King Kai stuff.

My daughter and granddaughter love this float. It was a gift, so don't know where it was bought.

If there is a Leslie's nearby try there, our's has been great to replace when they break

Moderator Woody has one of these he swears by

A couple pool noodles and some squirt guns is about the extent of my toys.

Here is something you can build to hold some of the toys. You can add a mesh bag to hold the smaller toys as well.

This is the most comfy float -- I can nap in it! I need a float the keeps you a little bit wet/in water in this Texas heat. Bonus is they roll up and are easy to store, we have 4 in our deck box along with a bunch of other stuff.
