Pool Toys

Many pool toys are available for children and adults, and come in a variety of shapes. Noodles are very popular, and are made from soft non absorbent foam. They can be connected together to create rafts or various other playful devices. They are approved for use at most public swimming pools because they cannot deflate or sink, making them suitable floatation devices.

Inflatable pool toys are the most widely used. They are generally made from flexible vinyl and can be easily inflated and deflated. Since they are filled with air, they easily float, and can be swimming aids. Many inflatable toys carry a risk of suffocation, or drowning, as children can get into deeper, unsafe waters and then have the toys unexpectedly deflate. Rafts and beach balls are popular inflatable toys.

Many pool toys don’t float at all, instead they are designed to sink quickly to the bottom of the pool. Diving rings and other sinking toys are good practice for swimming, teaching underwater propulsion and breathing skills. Children can be entertained and effectively worn out by throwing and then retrieving diving rings. Always check and follow safety precautions that are printed on toys and toy packaging.
