Inflatable Volleyball & Basketball Set $32
Give your guests a reason to jump in the pool and relax with this Inflatable Volleyball Net and Basketball Hoop Set. This all-in-one set has everything you need for a quick match, including a volleyball net with weight bags, basketball hoops, a volleyball, and a basketball.
"A great buy at an even better price. The quality is better than I expected and its provided a lot of fun for my family." says Lexy in her Amazon review.
Avocado Pool Float $22
Novelty pool floats are fun and add a festive touch to any poolside party. This colorful and bright Avocado Pool Float is made of thick and durable raft-grade material, comes with an inflatable ball that fits in the floatie like an avocado pit, and easily inflates with a hairdryer or toy air pump.
"This is by far the most popular float in our pool thus far! It is a decent size so it will hold a full adult. It was easy to inflate thanks to the multiple option/large inflate tube that other floats don’t have!" says Miramar Systems in their five-star review.
Beach Towels $10
Even if your guests bring their own towels, it's a great idea to have extras on hand so guests feel free to take multiple dips in the pool or have a comfy place to lie back and soak up the sun. The Big One Striped Beach Towels from Kohl's are our favorites because they're thick, reversible, quick drying and available in a variety of bright colors.
"Washes well and feels great. Bright colors!" says SpaceNerd in his five-star review.
JBL Flip 4 Bluetooth Portable Stereo Speaker $75
Music is a great addition to any pool party, and a waterproof speaker, like the JBL Flip 4 Bluetooth Portable Stereo Speaker, can fill your pool area with all your favorite tunes without any worries about it getting splashed or even falling in the pool! It wirelessly connects up to 2 smartphones or tablets, supports 12 hours of play time, and can be connected to additional JBL connect+ enabled speakers to amplify the party mood!
In their Amazon review, JCW says "I am so fascinated how extremely great this speaker is for only a whopping 100$ dollars. I would buy this speaker for 300$. An absolute steal!"
Pool Party Photo Props $20
Your guests will be posting pics on social, so why not give them some fun props to liven things up! The Pool Party Photo Props Set from Big Dot of Happiness includes 20 props professionally printed on thick cardstock paper and wooden dowels for easy assembly.
"So much fun for taking pics at the party! My daughter and her friends loved them!" says Lindsey in her five-star review.
Inflatable Flamingo Cooler with Toss Rings $18
This Inflatable Flamingo Cooler with Toss Rings not only keeps drinks cold and close, but it also doubles as a fun ring toss game! It has a 24” diameter so it can hold lots of drinks and it's made of thick, high-quality vinyl so it'll be there for you party after party.
"We used this at the city pool for a party and it adds such a fun wow factor to look at and added bonus is its ring toss and a cooler! By itself it's pretty cool but adding all the drinks it can hold makes it way awesome! Not bad for the price at all." says Katy F in her product review.
Coleman Roadtrip 225 Portable Propane Grill $200
Pool parties and grilled foods go hand in hand, and after swimming and playing games in the pool, everyone will love freshly grilled burgers and veggies. The Portable Propane Grill from Coleman delivers up to 11,000 BTUs of grilling power and 225 sq. in. cooking area, has two adjustable burners for precise temperature control and includes a side table for resting utensils and sauces.
