11 ultimate pool floats you need this summer

Lazing by the pool (or in it) is a fundamental part of enjoying summer for many Aussies. But this year it’s not the luxe sunnies, crochet bikinis or gladiator sandals that will score you cool points with your squad. Instead, this year’s must-have on-trend summer pool party accessory is extravagant, bright and larger-than-life inflatable pool floats.
They’re basically the coolest pool toys for children and grown-ups alike, and we’ve found 11 you need in your life, like yesterday.

1. Charlie The Unicorn, Fetch Floats

This cotton candy-coloured magical Pegacorn (Pegasus and unicorn hybrid) is what pool float dreams are made of.

2 & 3. Pineapple & Watermelon, Sunnylife

Fruit salad, anyone? You’ll look super fresh with these pool floats.

4. Doughnut, General Pants

While doughnuts are on-trend in the foodie world, they’re still super sweet for summer lounging in the pool.

5. Drogon the Dragon, Fetch Floats

Possibly the most bad-ass pool float ever. This golden dragon will make your summer extra magical.

6. Ice Cream, Sunnylife

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! But seriously, ahhhhhh, we have to have this!

7 & 8. Flamingo & Swan, Lilo Life

Brisbane-based brand Lilo Life has all the majestic and over-sized birds you need perched in your pool this summer.

9. Smiley Face, Urban Outfitters

Don’t worry, be happy!

10. Giant Inflatable Hot Dog Set, Lark Store

While the sausages are sizzling on the barbeque, it’s a battle of the buns in the pool. Hop aboard your inflatable hot dogs and use the ketchup or mustard floats as boppers to whack the loser off the float and into the water.

11. T-Rex, Inflatique

Look fierce (and ferocious) on a T-Rex. Ignore the kids modelling the toy because this pool float is totally suitable for grown-up dinosaur lovers too.
