Behold "the best thing that's happened to pool parties since the pool itself." It's hilariously difficult for a rider to stay atop this big, rideable bull — especially when others are tugging at the side handles. Buy it at Amazon.
3. Watermelon Ball ($25)
This all-ages water toy acts like a real watermelon when thrown into the pool — making it perfect for rugby, football, or plenty of other games. You fill it with water before using it, giving it near neutral buoyancy. Buy it at Amazon.

5. Polywood South Beach Lifeguard Chair ($559)
Somebody has to rule the pool and shouldn't have to do without a proper perch. Made of marine-grade plastic composite, this chair comes in 13 colors and has a 20-year warranty. Buy it at Amazon.
