Father’s Day Gift Guide: The Best Pool Gifts

If he’s lucky enough to have a pool, he’s pretty much set this summer.

Give him something that will make him appreciate that fact rather than believe the water is always bluer in a luxury hotel pool on the other side of the world.

Here are some gifts that will ensure Father’s Day goes swimmingly. 

Aptly named, this exclusive float is the only pool accessory you’ll need. It’s literally a chaise lounge for the pool and it will upgrade your whole summer. Made of thick, cushy two-inch-thick foam, it begs you to just hop on and stretch out. It’s even easily adjustable so you can sit upright, lie flat or simply recline. Cupholders are deep and integrated and the pillowy headrest lets you spend a relaxing day on the water. Available in five tropical colors. Price: $399

Nothing says pool luxury more than a stack of plush towels, and Weezie has just raised the bar. The female-founded company known for their towels and robes is now offering oversized striped beach towels in three colorways that will brighten the whole area. Made in Portugal, these beautiful cotton towels are soft and roomy, and they can even be custom embroidered so you don’t have to share. Price: $68

These inflatable pools for grown-ups are selling out everywhere and it’s easy to see why. A far cry from those kiddie pools you grew up with, these are a fun and Instagrammable way to cool off. Surprisingly spacious, their signature styles are 5.5 feet wide and 1.5 feet high and fit three adults, and they just introduced an even bigger model (you can join the waitlist here) so you can invite someone else to join you. Perfect for date nights or family nights, the memories you’ll make in the Minnidip will simply fill you with joy. Price: $45

A great bathing suit is a summer staple, and designer Daniel Patrick has created the one you’ll want to live in all season. Not only does it look smart and stylish but, with its elastic waist and relaxed fit, it’s comfortable enough to pair with a t-shirt or sweater. Made of lightweight nylon and featuring lots of pockets, it’s a modern classic. Price: $250

Make it a pool party with this powerful speaker that proves good things come in small packages. Portable but packing a mighty sound, JLab’s Crasher Slim can stream your music from any Bluetooth-enabled device for up to 10 hours from up to 30 feet away so you can keep it a safe distance from the pool. With an IP54 waterproof rating, you don’t have to worry about splashes – and you can even opt for the bigger Crasher XL, which boasts an IP66 for more pool freedom.  Price: $49

Grabbing a drink together takes on a whole new meaning with this practical caddy that keeps your favorite beverages close by so you never have to leave the pool. Made of durable Sunbrella, which won’t fade in the sun or chlorine, it holds four drinks plus a bucket of ice – or a bowl of chips. Price: $99

Hop on your pool float, close your eyes and immerse yourself in your music, an audiobook or your favorite podcast with these wireless earbuds that will let you listen, uninterrupted, for 6 hours. The case itself provides an extra 34 hours of charging power. The earbuds feature Be Aware Audio so you can choose whether or not to let ambient noise. With a waterproofing rating of 66, you can rest assured knowing a little splash won’t hurt them – or you. Price: $69
