What are good pool toys?
The pool toys of today are pretty impressive when compared to the pool noodle of our childhood. With so many to choose from, how do you sort the good from the bad? When it comes to material, most inflatable pool toys are made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride) a sturdy and sun-resistant material made to withstand day-to-day use. Though PVC pool toys typically take the form of inflatable pool floats, there are a variety of other pool toys which offer just as much fun. These include:
- sinking rings
- tennis rackets (aquatic version)
- ball games
- floating net devices, and so much more!
