    20 Fun And Fresh Things You'll Want By The Pool This Summer

    ♫ Just keep swimming, just keep swimming ♫

    1. This unicorn float that'll probably be the centre of attention at your next pool party. You can even grab a pack of rings and play a game of ring toss using the unicorn's horn.

    2. A padded pool mat, so you can lay back and relax while you soak up those rays. You can set it up in three ways: as a full-body mat, a cushioned seat, or a lounger with a headrest — the choice is yours!

    3. A floating LED pool light that'll upgrade your evening swims. You can set it so it changes colours, so you can enjoy a poolside light show.

    4. A pair of Crocs, so you can comfortably strut around the pool. Reviewers say they're super comfy and easy to clean, and love that they're waterproof.

    5. A funky beach towel with a bold and vibrant pattern, so you'll always know which one is yours. It's made with absorbent terry-loop cotton that'll help you dry off before you catch a chill.

    6. This water-resistant Neutrogena SPF 50 sunscreen stick that'll keep the sun from damaging the sensitive skin on your face. It's super sheer, so it won't leave a weird white cast on your face like so many other SPFs tend to do.

    7. This inflatable hammock that'll let you lounge in the water without sinking to the bottom. Reviewers love how compact it is when it's deflated and say it's easy to bring along to the beach, too.

    14. This brilliant insect repeller, so you won't have to smother yourself in bug spray every time you want to enjoy a sunset swim. It'll provide a 15-foot radius of protection that'll keep those pesky mosquitos the heck away from you.

    16. A set of jumbo clips that'll save your favourite swimsuits from flying away while they're hanging outside to dry. They're also great for keeping your towel from blowing off your lounge chair while you go for a dip.
