Cornhole, while a good game, could use a little livening up to make it a more enjoyable experience. The Toad Toss’n Floating Bean Bag Toss Game adds two new features that will get you back into the game. The first is that it floats—the ability to play any game while in a pool rather than on dry land is a definite plus. The second is that the bean bags are little toads. Nothing like tossing around a few reptiles to get your blood flowing.

This dining set brings all new meaning to pool furniture. You might assume that the furniture you buy for your pool would sit outside of it, but that is exactly where you are wrong. This set has holes in their frames that will fill with water so they don’t float away. Now you can enjoy your favorite meal and drink without ever leaving the coolness of the shallow end.

An igloo may not be your first thought in the middle of a heat wave, but I think the kids will enjoy this floating habitat regardless. And maybe the thought of an igloo will help cool you down as well. You will need to cool down after you spend two hours blowing this up manually.

Hammacher Schlemmer, known for some cool stuff, has a remote controlled floating serving tray. Put some snacks and drinks on it and drive it over to your guests while they lounge in the pool. It has five drink holders and a serving bowl in the center. Control it forward, backward, left, right or rotate it through 360 degrees. They say it won’t capsize, but I would assume that is under normal usage. I won’t be getting one since I do not have a pool, but if you do it will cost you $49.99 to be the perfect host.
