Floating Ping Pong, Why Didn’t Anyone Think of This Before?


If there are two things that were made to be together they are ping pong tables and swimming pools. Well maybe not, but this does look like some serious fun. A floating undersized ping pong table is combined with some oversized floating paddles. The only thing that is missing from the picture is the ball. It could be fun if you are looking for something to do in the pool besides actually swimming.

Price: $70 [Overton's via Baller House]

Nemo 33, the Deepest Swimming Pool in the World

Nemo 33

Nemo 33 is a 33-meter deep swimming pool that is filled with specially filtered unchlorinated spring water. It has a range of different cool stuff underwater, including simulated caves, several platforms and of course the 33-meter deep cylindrical pit. In case you are wondering, that is deeper than you are allowed to go on a standard SCUBA diving license.

Solar-Heated Outdoor Shower Washes Off the Chemicals After Your Dip


If you want an outdoor shower for your swimming pool and don’t much care for a cold one every time that you take a dip, Hammacher Schlemmer’s solar-heated 86° F outdoor shower is one solution. You connect the outdoor shower to a regular garden hose. It holds up to 16 gallons in the base, where two hours ought to be enough to heat it to a more comfortable temperature.

Once heated, you can enjoy eight two minute showers and it has a dial so that the shower will be precisely timed and water hogs can’t make excuses. 86° F isn’t exactly warm, but it is a lot better than no heating at all and it is cheaper than a fully plumbed shower.

Price: $199.95

Swimming Pool Climbing Wall Looks Like Wet and Slippery Fun

Aquatic Climbing Wall

Climbing is great exercise, something that my two younger siblings can attest to; I myself do not indulge. If I had a swimming pool, however, I would be hard pressed not to get one of these. Despite being a climbing wall in a swimming pool, it is designed with safety in mind. It is angled in such a way that climbers always fall feet first into the water. 10 1/2′-tall, which is not that far to drop when there is water below.

Price: $8000
