Every year, we look forward to swimming pool season. Â Impromptu pool parties are our jam and a pool party is not as fun without a few pool floaties!

Over the years, we have added to our collection and I have often been asked how my pool floats last year after year when most people can barely make them last through the summer season?!

In the video below, I share my tips on how to take care of your swimming pool toys so you can enjoy them for more than a season. We have had some of our floaties for about 7 years and we use them regularly and they are still in great condition.

3 Tips to taking care of your pool floats so they last year after year:

Tip #1: Let them air dry after each use to avoid mold and mildew issues
Tip #2: Use a pump on reverse mode to remove all the air from the floaties
Tip #3: Fold them and store them away in a dry bin until next use or next season

Here are some DON’Ts to keep in mind:

Do not let them rot in the sun
Do not drag them on the ground
Do not overload them with weight either in the pool or on the ground. They are only made of plastic!

Hope you found these tips helpful. Below are a few of our favorite pool toys…
