5 of the Best Swimming Pool Accessories
When you have your own swimming pool, you want to make the most of it! Accessories are a must for any home pool, whether it’s an essential such as a swimming pool cover, something decorative or entertaining for the whole family!
So, where do you start with swimming pool accessories? If you’re a new owner and want to make your pool the best it can be, consider some of these items to add to your experienc.
This first one is less of an accessory and more of a necessity! However, as most swimming pools don’t come with one as standard, you’ll want to make sure you get one as soon as you can.
Swimming pool covers are a vital part of good maintenance. Not only do they keep debris out of the pool, but they can also protect the chemicals in the water and slow the growth of algae.
There is a wide range of swimming pool covers available, all with a range of unique benefits. A solar pool cover is ideal for retaining heat, while a safety cover is excellent for in-ground pools as it stops people or animals from falling into the water.

No swimming pool is complete without an inflatable! Whether you have a small above-ground pool or a larger in-ground option, you’ll want some floaties to enjoy!
If you’ve got little ones who want to enjoy a swim, then they’ll love having some inflatables to hang onto.
If your child is learning to swim, having the right protection is a must. Armbands or safety vests will be popular choices, and they should be supervised at all times while they learn.
If your child is more comfortable and capable in the water, you could add noodles or rubber rings to the fun. You could even get animal-shaped floats that they can ride around!
A popular choice with adults, having a large inflatable allows you to relax and unwind under the sun.
If the thought of clamouring over a lilo doesn’t appeal to you, there are loads of inflatable seats available. If you have a larger space, you could even check out a floating island, perfect for a day by the pool.
A must for any family swimming pool is games. Having something to do is another way of bringing kids away from screens and into the pool for a day of fun and activities.
The games you can play in a swimming pool are only limited by your imagination – and the size of your pool, of course! Older children will love diving games, so buying a handful of pool toys designed to float to the bottom will provide hours of fun and also be more sanitary than using household items.

If you want to make your pool look its best for having people around, then you want to invest in some lights.
If you have an in-ground pool, you’ll often have lights built-in, but if you don’t, there are more straightforward options available. If you want to add a touch of fun to your pool, throwing some floating ball lights onto the water is an easy way to make your water stand out when the sun goes down.
To finish with a flourish, have you considered turning your swimming pool into a makeshift fountain?!
It’s surprisingly simple, as your swimming pool already has a pump installed. Fountain accessories simply attach to the return, turning your still water into an exciting garden feature when not in use.
As you can imagine, the accessories you can add to your pool are almost limitless! What’s your swimming pool must-have? Why not share your favourites with our pool owners community on our social media channels?
