Ever since having kids, I spend a lot more time at the pool. This is especially true this summer, now that my three-and-a-half-year-old is swimming (eh, almost) on his own. All of the extra pool time with my littles has given me an excuse to – what else – shop for the occasion.

From swimwear and post-pool hoodies to the best goggles and loads of toys, I’ve found so many fun summer things for kiddos. Here, my picks for the pool that littles of all ages can enjoy.

SWIM TRUNKS

Boys may get the short end of the stick when it comes to cute apparel but the swimsuit options are always up to par with the girls. I love this beach ball suit.

SHOP

SHARK SUPER SOAKER

This shark super soaker will keep your littles entertained for hours. Not only is it great for the pool, but it’s also a fun toy for the bath.

SHOP

MERMAID SWIM VEST

Your little might not resist wearing the lifejacket as much when it has a mermaid tail.

SHOP

TERRY COVER-UP

These terry hoodies are my favorite for post-pool wear. They zip up easily and make for a perfect coverup for kiddos of all ages.

SHOP

DIVE BUDDIES

These neoprene dive buddies are currently my son’s favorite pool toy. They’re a great way to encourage swim skills.

SHOP

NEOPRENE ESPADRILLES

These neoprene espadrilles are a summer essential. They’re the best water-friendly, quick-dry option that, according to my little, is comfortable, too.
