Kiddie Pool from Backyard Ocean (Gift #3)

The Swan Kiddie Pool from Backyard Ocean will be a fun activity for both of my daughters, put enormous smiles on their faces and help us beat the heat!

One Swan Activity Pool from Backyard Ocean, two daughters, water, towels and sunscreen. About Backyard Ocean:

With Backyard Ocean, on that beautiful and warm summer day, you only need to go to your backyard to enjoy your own summer oasis!”

The girls were more than excited when I told them that a pool came in the mail! It has been so incredibly hot here lately, that any break from the heat is most appreciated. We used a manual pump to inflate the Swan which has 11 separate air chambers. It took about 10 minutes for us to completely inflate the pool, but it was not difficult at all. I would not, however, recommend that you inflate it by mouth!

I wish I would have video taped the looks on the girls’ faces when we inflated the swan! It was truly priceless as they watched this swan come to life with each pump of air. The appearance of the pool is very appealing to kids! The fun design just makes you want to jump in and play! The pool has a 76 gallon capacity at 80% full, is 6 feet long and 3.3 feet wide. My 1 and 4 year old were able to play in the pool together with ample amount of room. The included basketball hoop and ring toss game made the pool more of an “experience” and kept the girls entertained for the afternoon. The quality of the pool was also great. We had absolutely no trouble with the valves or leakage issues.

In my opinion, the Swan Activity Pool was a great choice for my daughters! The pool kept them entertained longer than a regular blow-up pool because of the fun activities included with the pool. The quality of the pool coupled with the excellent customer service received from Backyard Ocean makes this product one of my top picks for summer! Want something bigger than a kiddie pool? Backyard Ocean also sells the popular ring pools! Already have a pool? You can also get pool accessories and toys at Backyard Ocean! Above ground pools can make any backyard a paradise!

The Swan Activity Pool can be purchased directly from Backyard Ocean for $44.99. Do you need to beat the heat this summer? Backyard Ocean is generously offering one lucky Not-So-Blog reader their choice of either the Swan Activity Pool or the Racetrack Pool and Play Set.
