Pool Floats

I have been looking into pool floats. Not because I know much about it — I do not. But that is usually the best place to start.

I read through a bunch of notes, found some things worth passing along, plus a few product recommendations, and figured I would share what stood out.

Here is what I found.

Things to Know

• → Skip the Pool Float. Get a Life Jacket.
• → Your inflatable pool float is not recyclable.
• → Most pool floats lie about weight capacity. Here’s what actually works.
• → Clear nail polish is your best bet.
• → Get a pool float with a weighted bottom or use anchors.

Stuff to Buy

• ↗ Cooler Shock Reusable Ice Pack — Stays frozen longer than ice. No soggy mess.
• ↗ Earth Pak 20L Dry Bag — Phone, wallet, keys stay dry.
