Swim 🏊♂️
Swim safety is huge. These are my top recommendations for pool safety and still having fun!
I highly recommend grabbing a coast guard (USCG) approved life vest. Puddle jumpers are popular however they don’t promote safe swim. Do some research but love these!

We have this and it fits TTS. Bright colors are recommended for swimming.

Outdoor toys 🏀
My favorite outdoor toys that keep my girls busy for hours. Some cheap options and some more higher priced items that will last for years to come
Don’t overthink a splash pad, you only need a small one with enough water to keep cool. This is affordable and holds up great
