It’s the summer holidays and time to have plenty of fun in the sun, and the pool of course. But if you find swimming lengths a bit boring after a while, why not grab some pool toys and play some games with the kids.
Here's our pick of the 11 best pool toys of all time:
1. Noodles
They’re a floatation device, a toy and can also be used to make some funny water shooters. These flexible foam tubes are a pool toy staple.
2. Sea Saw Rocker Pool Toy

Okay, so admittedly this inflatable toy is only fun if used by 2 people of a similar weight, but if you can get that right, it is a hell of a ride.
3. Underwater Pool Skateboard

We don’t know about you, but when we were little we dreamed of having a hover board like in the film Back to the Future. But this board may be even better – it’s used underwater!
4. Water Blasters

Water fights are great fun, so why not invest in a water blaster? They’re light and are easily refillable – simply hold them under the water for a few seconds.
5. Floating basketball hoops

6. Pool ball

And you can’t play basketball without a ball. Pick up an air filled one like this and you could also have a game of volleyball.
7. Toypedos

A military missile or torpedo, speeds through water with its streamline design. This toy miniature version has a similar design without the bang.
8. Radio control boat or submarine
