Pool Gear That Is Ideal For Kids

By Carmella Watts


Some fun pool gear will be ideal for your summer this year. There are several ways that you can use various items to to have a relaxing time in the water. The following are recommended items that are fun and groovy, and that will surely improve your swimming experience this summer.

Water fountains are such fun for the kids; they make swimming go from just moving up and down to maybe having an exciting water fight. Kids love to splash each other and have a great game in the water. These fountains are available in many different designs and will fit most swimming pools.

If you have a good shallow end, then a fountain that sprays down on you that the kids can run through might be a good option. However, if it is only one depth, the height of the fountain will not be that much above the water level. You will also have to make sure that the ground is not too slippery, so maybe some adhesive grip tapes would be a good option.

Making the lighting match the mood of the experience, or making that next get together with your friends an event to remember, is something to consider. There are plenty of options available; you could put the lights in the water or have them mounted above ground. They could run off power or off solar; the options are endless. Perhaps try the color changing options so you can have lights for every occasion.

Then there is the expense of having the plumbing installed for both these features. If you have very deep water, then a cheaper option might be to install a balance beam or dueling log. You will need to take into consideration the size of the water surface, as you will need to make sure you have good clearance on all sides. You will then need to decide if you want to have it mounted or suspended.

When swimming pools are put into a natural environment, the plants should be considered carefully. Palms are great options as they don't drop many leaves, and they are easy to trim off before they drop. Succulents are a good option because they are easy to maintenance, and don't need much care and attention. Rocks or pebbles make a good cover over the garden as they help to keep the weeds down and look really good around palms and succulents.

In this nice, relaxing and natural environment, with the beautiful waterfall and the sound of running water, you will need something on which to relax. There are many inflatable options available, and with the great bar that you put in, an armchair would be a nice way to enjoy those cool drinks while still on the water.

The best pool gear for children is sunscreen. Making sure it is good quality with high SPF gives children the best protection against the sun and its harmful rays. Getting them to wear hats and a t-shirt when they are outside, and making sure they reapply the sunscreen regularly, will prevent sunburns.
