Summer Style: What Float Is Right For You?

It’s official: Pool season is almost upon us. The Memorial Day to Labor Day stretch includes 16 precious weekends to spend poolside – not to mention any staycations you’re planning –  so you’ll want to make sure you’re ready to hit the ground … err, pool, running. Whether you spend sunny days perfecting your dive or just dipping your feet in to cool off, we have a few ideas on how you can make the most of pool season.

FOR THE LOUNGERS…

Your pool time is spent in pure relaxation mode, floating with a cold drink nearby – and let’s face it, likely squeezing in a nap or two while you’re at it. Comfort is key, so you’ll want to make sure you have the best pool float (and plenty of sunscreen), so you can maximize your time in the pool. Vinyl-coated foam is great for a soft, supportive surface while bead-filled fabrics offer a more malleable, nestle-in experience.
