Disclosure: As a SwimWays Ambassador I receive products to review in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.
When I go to a pool the first (and usually) only thing I want to do is lay down on a float. With three kids I need to constantly watch and entertain in a pool though I don’t often get the chance. I tell myself one day I will be able to lounge quietly in a pool and relax but then I think of how quiet and boring it will get.
So for now my kids use our floats or I get to lay on them with them. What do I look for in a float? Soft, comfortable, easy to blow up and easy to store. Well the SwimWays Spring Float I received is just that.
Its a soft mesh hammock that is oval shaped and uses patented inner springs to add stability in the water. It comes in a thin mesh bag and once opened it pops open in the big oval float and is super easy to inflate (or deflate) as it uses Jet Valve Technology, no air pump required. Just the outer ring and pillow need to be inflated and then your ready to float! The weight limit is for adults up to 250 pounds. There are different styles available, I received one with graphics on it, a sea horse to be specific and my kids love it. I was worried about the graphic peeling apart in the pool but SwimWays uses a heat-and-press process that ensures the graphics won’t peel. Once you are done you can easily deflate then and fold up to take with you, but honestly we leave it open and stored nicely on my mom’s deck. Since it is flat pretty much I can just stick it in the corner of the railing and its fine. For the price of $24.99, I’d say its a pretty good deal and great float to pick up.
BUY IT: SwimWays products can be checked out online and found at various retail stores across the United States and on the SwimWays website.
WIN IT: (1) US winner will receive a SwimWays Spring Float
