SwimWays Spring Float Recliner

Disclosure: As a SwimWays Ambassador I receive products to review in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

I really like working as one of the SwimWays Ambassadors, I receive products from them that encourage my kids to get into the pool and swim. So far we really enjoy the dolphin Swimways Pooligans from last month and the swimming vests. I also love that they share so much water safety information with me because I think it’s really important that you are always within a hands reach of your children when they are learning how to swim. I was just reading on someone’s facebook page the other day that their child was being ignored during swim lessons. It was another mom that told her it looked like her son was in distress. Right in the middle of his swimming class she had to jump in the pool with her clothes on to get her son out of the pool. Water Safety is so important don’t ever take it for granted.

All summer long, Swimways will be working with Mario Vittone, former Coast Guard Helicopter Rescue Swimmer and instructor and water safety expert, to bring expert water safety tips to Swim Steps’ dedicated website TeachMeToSwim.com. In addition to these tips, families can download free materials and resources on the site, including a swimming certificate, National Learn to Swim Day party invitation, coloring sheets and more.

This month I received the Spring Float Recliner.

The SwimWays® Spring Float® Recliner pool float combines all the comfort of the Spring Float® pool float line with a sit-up style and luxury lounge experience. Kick back and enjoy these features:

Jet Valve™ technology allows for easy and fast inflation and deflation.
Includes backrest, headrest, cup holder and ottoman.
Folds quickly with our patented spring technology for easy carry and storage.
Three colors to choose from.

It really was very easy to inflate and to fold back up. My husband asked me for help but before I even got over to him he had it all wrapped back up. We can’t wait to take it to the beach.

Swimways Pooligans The Wet Pool Plush

Swimways Pooligans have my kids ready to jump in the pool and yes the bath tub. As soon as this dolphin showed up my daughter was all over me to take her to the swimming pool and to let her use it in the tub. They recognize the Swimways brand as a brand that can get wet. They know it can go in the bath tub and every day, can we take it in the tub, can we take it with us, is it ready to go in today? I kept saying no because I didn’t want to get the camera ready. Not that I would have shown you photos of them in the tub anyway because I’m pretty sure they are too old to show you tub photos.

Pooligans are sweet, huggable plush pool toys. They are made from an anti-microbial, fast drying outer fabric and stuffing making them perfect for both in and out of the pool. Kids can swim with their favorite animal, and moms and dads can enjoy them as a cute poolside seat. Kids love to swim with the sweet, huggable SwimWays® Pooligans™ plush pool toys! They’re fun as a float; perfect for poolside comfort.

Available in 4 collectable styles: Pink Dolphin, Penguin, Polar Bear and Blue Shark. These creatures are fun for all ages, I think I would even love to snuggle with one. They are quite soft and feel a little like a beany baby just much larger as you can see by the photos of my children. .

In all honesty I haven’t had time yet to take my children to the pool. I haven’t even taken the tags off yet, but what I d love is how soft they are and how they dry so fast. The kids love them and I can’t wait until I get back to Washington to take them to the pool with their new toys.
