Dancing on the Beach

By Denise Sanger

In the summer it is so much fun for the kids and you, for that fact, to play in the pool. There is more fun to be had when your kids have pool toys they can safely use in the water. They laugh and play even longer in the water and forget about time.

There are games that can be bought to play in the pool like tossing a frog onto floating lily pads for a score. In other words it is similar to a beanbag toss but for the water. This is a great game for one or more kids to play with.

Did you know that you can buy an underwater boomerang for your kids? They can throw it underwater and it will come back to them. Sounds like a toy the adults may have a hard time staying away from too. This could be pool fun for the whole family.

There are different dasher toys that will travel around in the pool for the kids to enjoy. These come in the form of fishes, frogs, turtles, seals, penguins, and more. Toys like these are so fun even adults enjoy watching them race and flip through the water.

The neatest thing though has to be this ball-shaped toy that actually bounces off of water! This is an amazing thing to do. Just imagine it bouncing off the top of the pool water.

For the girls there is a mermaid toy that dances in the water. This one is recommended for girls 4 years and older. They can imagine they are the mermaid dancing in the water.

Then there are the toys that dive through the water. Some of these don’t even use batteries! What fun the kids will swimming after these. They come in shapes like submarines or fish.

Anyone for a game of water volleyball? This is a game the whole family will love. Just think of all the fun you have had on the beach and backyard with volleyball. Now you can have the same fun in the water too.

There are also dive rings that can be thrown in the pool for the kids to swim after and retrieve. You could also get them a water basketball game for them to practice their eye-hand coordination with. It will be a different challenge from playing regular basketball. There are different versions of this game that you can buy. The baskets are different.

For the older kids you can get a trampoline that floats on the water. You can use this in a pool, at the beach, or in a lake. Of course, they should not use this without adult supervision.

Let’s not forget the water polo and the ball toss games too. These can be played with several players so they are great for pool parties.

We have been talking about pool toys for kids, but there are also some for adults too. Of course you can play with all the toys with your kids, but there are floats for adults and some will hold more than one person. There are those personal-size floats too for your convenience. You can just lay back and relax. So check out all the pool toys!

Do you own a swimming pool? How do you entertain the kids while trying to relax away from work? Pool toys can be the answer to tons of backyard fun. There are so many pool toys to choose from. And there are pool toys that suit the size pool you have, from a toddler’s pool to an Olympic size. Items can be anything from lounges to motorized wind-up swimming toys.

One of the most important things to consider before purchasing an outdoor pool toy is safety. Does the toy float? Can a child get tangled in it? Can it be thrown safely? These and other questions should be addressed. Children can be rather rambunctious in a swimming pool, and fun is what it’s all about, but toy safety should be in the parent or pool supervisor’s mind at all times.

Floating toys are best and the most fun. There are lounges, tubes, and even trampolines for any age that can fit in any above ground pool. Small, swimming, wind-up toys are wonderful fun for babies and toddlers, even preschoolers. You can purchase bendable floating, colorful pipes that can be wrapped around the chest for those learning to swim. The traditional “inner tube” has taken on a new form, that of animal shapes, or even a picture of a favorite cartoon or child’s television program.

You can also buy games for the pool. Water volleyball is an important staple of the larger swimming pools. For more experienced swimmers, a set of goggles and diving rings, or other sinking items can lead to serious competition. You can set your own rules and safety measures…there is no limit to what kind of fun you can have with this type of game.

Babies aren’t left out of the action. Many products are out on the market today that babies and their parents can enjoy. Floating baby “swimmers”, which resemble their walkers in the house, provide water fun. For toddlers, you can get a floating “island” that the kids can hang onto or jump off safely. Most floating products today are made from much more durable plastics and rubber than of yesterday, and they can usually be repaired with a separate repair kit.

Small paddleboats for larger pools are also available. This would be a great learning experience for toddlers and preschoolers alike. With adult supervision, a child can learn the basics of boating.

There are target games that have a diving and rising action. Simply float a target ring where you want it, and with finesse, throw your diving item into the water to have it float up into the ring for a score. There are products that bounce across the surface, which can lead to a teen “dodge-ball” game. Pool golf, pool basketball, pool tag, and even toys for the family dog are available to anyone with a pool. You are only limited to the size of the pool, or whatever your imagination leads you.
