All of the products that you can use in the pool!
Amazon has so many great options for pool floats! They are also reasonably priced considering that they will probably only last one summer…if that.

Walmart also has a wide variety of floats and toys that are meant for the pool!

Make the pool fun for everyone this summer by getting a basketball hoop! I always hated just sitting in the pool, so having a game that everyone can play is so fun!

Tanning
All of my summer tanning essentials!
Amazon has a million different styles and designs of claw clips. I like to put a hat on and then claw-clip my hair. I do not like the oil touching my hair. Normally this is my go-to hair style for tanning while on a float in the pool.
Claw Clips
I like this oil to use when I am tanning. I normally put a layer of sunscreen on first and let that dry, then put the oil on. After that, I reapply every 30 minutes- hour, depending on if I get in the pool!
Tan Oil
I normally buy a cheap hat like this from Target. These are my favorite so my face doesn't burn or get weird sun tan lines from my glasses. They are also perfect because they can fit a claw clip underneath them.
Womens Hat
I like to have a nice pair of sunglasses that are polarized because I have blue eyes that are extremely sensitize to the sun. So Ray bans are my go-to because they are reasonably priced for everything you get.
Sunglasses for Women | Ray-Ban® USA
I always get a cheap pair of flip-flops at the beginning of every summer! These are perfect for beach trips or lake trips and if you tear them, or lose them then it isnt a huge deal!

Kiddos
I have taught swim lessons during the summer for 6 years and this will be my seventh these are the swim toys I recommend parents to get for their kids and have them play with to better their swim skills!
I recommend all my parents get their kids dive toys. This teaches kids how to swim to the bottom, grab something, and then swim back up. These are skills that they will need in the future and will overall make them a better swimmer while they have fu...
Dive Toys
Not necessarily something I require of parents, but if your kid does have a hard time with putting their face all the way under water, these will help!
Kids / Swimming Goggles / Swimming Equipment
This one is definitely essential for all my kids. This helps kids build the leg muscle to swim across the pool! This will only help them be better and stronger swimmers in the long run.
Kickboards
These are a lot like the dive toys, but they normally hit the bottom and standup, so they are better for the younger kids trying to grasp the concept.
Pool Rings
A hula hoop you can use by placing it on top of the water and having them dive in OR placing it underwater and having them swim through it. This is a great tool for kids!

You can also use pool noodles to teach kids how to dive by putting it in different places from where they are diving from! This makes them learn to jump further or shorter!
