Favorite Swimming Pool Accessories for Summer

Summer is all about getting back outside and enjoying everything that our beautiful state of Arizona has to offer. One of the best ways to do this is to hit the pool with fun pool accessories.

Sure, a backyard swimming pool is fun, but add the visual pop of color and promise of good times floating on a giant piece of food or goofing around with your friends, and it becomes almost irresistible.
Fill your pool or yard with a few of these pool accessories, and get ready for an instant party and pictures. Who doesn’t look adorable floating on a giant piece of pizza, or a huge flamingo?

1. Pool Noodles
Pool noodles aren’t only cost effective, but they’re one of the most diverse outdoor living products and provide kids and adults with hours of fun! Use as a floaty in the pool, or transform your noodle into a hoop, turn it into a floating candy cane during the holidays, or stack them together to build a raft. Swimways Pool Noodle.

2. Basketball Hoop
The Phoenix Suns Logo Portable Basketball Game allows you to enjoy hours of pool-basketball games. Designed for many years of shooting hoops, this hoop has a all-weather hard body polyform backboard complete with an 16″ aluminum hoop and polyethylene net. The high capacity game base can be weighted with water or sand to keep your game going all summer long. Complete with a game ball and inflating needle. Leslie’s Pools

3. Giant Inflatable Pizza
We love the pizza slice for its loungeable square footage, but if for whatever reason pizza doesn’t, ahem, float your boat, you can opt for a donut or pretzel, instead. Or, order all three for an inflatable, balanced meal. Urban Outfitters

4. Giant Flamingo
The pink flamingo has long been a staple Mid-century and retro yards, an iconic plastic image of the good life in suburbia. It only makes sense that she makes her way from the lawn to the pool as a pretty pink inflatable ride-in. Leslie’s Pools

5. LED Lights
Though not something that can be played with, creatively placed LED lighting will turn any pool into unique pools that are a visually stunning place to splash and swim even after the lights go down. Wrap the lighting around the outline of your pool or furnish other aspects of the pool and garden with these lights to create new focal points Contact a Unique Companies for pricing

7. MAGICSTREAM Laminars
MagicStream® Laminars create totally clear, uniform arcs of moving water that originate from either your pool deck or surrounding landscape.

Not into slam dunks? You’ll be sure to get everyone in on the fun in the pool with a vigorous game of pool volleyball with a pool volleyball net. Dunn-Right ProVolley Deck Mounted Pool Volleyball Set available at Leslie’s Pool Supplies.

9. Fitness Set
Get a bikini bod, in your bikini! A pool workout can be more than swimming laps. The Super Soft 6-Piece Fitness Set includes two barbells, a pair of ankle wraps, a swim bar, and a foam flotation belt to work all major muscle groups. It’s fun and, because you’re in the water, safer for your joints than working out in the gym. Amazon
