Simple is Better When it Comes to Pool Toys and Floats
Every year the pool industry pumps out a variety of new swimming pool toys and floats. It seems as though, with each passing year, pool toy companies are trying to reinvent the wheel and come up with the latest and greatest toy. You don’t have to take my word for it, take a stroll down the pool toy isles of your local department store and take note of what you see. Personally, I feel as though pool floats are just getting bigger and pool toys more complex. It begs the question, who has time to put these things together and who has a pool big enough to hold them? My point is this, when it comes to pool toys and pool floats, you really do not need the next “big thing” to hit the market. You will find as I have you will get just as much enjoyment as the classic, meat and potatoes, toys and floats. This year when you go shopping for pool accessories, keep a little money in your wallet and go with less complicated but just as enjoyable pool toys and floats.
When I go to buy pool toys and pool rafts for my pool I think about functionality. In other words, are these items that I am buying going to be easy to use or are they going to take an hour to set up and break down? In most cases, the items that do not take a lot of time to set up are your best options. I know that people recently have been going with the more complicated stuff especially when it comes to swimming pool floats. Gone are the days when you bought a flat inflatable bed and had it in the pool within twenty minutes. Now, floats are not so simple. Many have additional plastic and foam parts that require assembly. The fact of the matter is that while these floats may look more impressive they do exactly the same thing for a lot more money. I would be as bold as to say that most of the time these pool toys and floats only last about one swimming season anyway. So why pay more for something you are not going to use that often? In my opinion the way to go when it comes to pool toys and pool floats is simple and cheap.
