Best Float: JOYIN Inflatable Pool Floats
Floats are the dark horse of pool accessories. You never think you want one until you’re on one. These fruit tubes are great, easy to inflate, and will add a splash of decor to your pool this summer. Best Feature: A pack of three means there's enough to go around, plus the fun fruit shapes make something fun, even more fun.

Best Noodle: Fix Find Pool Noodles
What can’t you do with Pool Noodles? These are great for floating of course, but what about as Light Sabers? You can even use them as water guns, but I’m done giving you ideas for now. Best Feature: Creativity simply flows through these things. Whether you're splashing or floating or sword fighting, there's nothing you can't do.

Best Deep End Game: JOYIN 24 Pieces Pool Toy Set
This diving set has seven diving rings, four sticks, four torpedo pool toys, and nine pirate treasures. The rings and sticks stand up in the bottom of the pool, making them easier to grab, and they’re not only fun, they help with diving, too. Best Feature: With several different items to find, this will keep the youngins entertained for hours.

Best Card Game: Uno Splash
I knew you could play cards poolside, but I never realized you could hop in and get a game going without ruining your deck. This Uno deck has waterproof, clear cards, and a take-along clip so none of your cards float away.Best Feature: I mean, it's Uno...in the pool!

Best Basketball Game: Intex Floating Hoop
I think the floating hoop is a little more fun than the hoop you can set up on the side. You can get two, the target is always moving, and it’s easier to dunk. At the end of the day, what’s not to like?Best Feature: For the hoop-star in your life, this will keep them entertained, as they attempt to drain bucket after bucket.

Best Football: Poolmaster Active Xtreme Football
You probably shouldn’t get your pigskin all wet and this is the perfect alternative. This football is water resistant and soft, so no one gets hurt.Best Feature: The fabric is hard to tear, and the ball floats, and fills up with water, too.

Best Fishing Game: CozyBomB Magnetic Fishing
If your kids aren’t the strongest swimmers yet, this game will still keep them entertained poolside for hours. It comes with an array of different fish and two poles so they can reel in something big.Best Feature: You don’t even have to go into the pool to use it.
