The Essential Tips for Choosing Your Child’s Pool Float

Rip-roaring laughter, cool summer treats, and splashing and playing with friends — it’s what the best summer vacation dreams are made of. When you want the ultimate in summer fun, look no further than Backyard Oasis. We have everything you need to keep your family safe and happy in your backyard pool, including fun floats for the whole family. Here are our top essential tips for choosing the perfect pool float for your child.

Size, Support, and Safety

There are different sizes and support levels of pool floaties available depending on the age and ability of your child. If you have an infant or toddler swimmer, consider a secure float like a swim seat with a sun canopy. It will help keep those summer rays off your little one’s sensitive skin. If you have a preschooler or early elementary child, water wings or a puddle jumper is an excellent float choice when a parent is close by. It allows their emerging swim skills to develop while giving them the confidence and support they need in the water.

And for your big kids? It really depends on their age and skill. Do you have a child who has been through swimming lessons and is just looking for a fun float? Pool noodles are ultra-fun, as are ring floaters. And for the biggest kids and teens? Novelty floats are where it’s at this year. Grab a floating pizza or pineapple, decorate your pool with an oversized unicorn or flamingo, or go all-out with LED floats that will light the night.
