Pool Party Essentials: Everything You Need to Host a Splashin’ Good Time

Summer is here, and that means it’s time to break out the swimsuits, sunscreen, and host some epic pool parties! Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, graduation, or just cooling off on a hot day, a little planning goes a long way toward a splashin’ good time with friends and family.

Start with a clean, ready pool
Before guests arrive, make sure your pool is clean and properly balanced. A skimmer and basic maintenance tools will keep leaves and debris off the surface, while a pool chemical kit keeps the water clear and safe for swimming. Nothing ends a party faster than cloudy or uninviting water.

Stock up on pool toys and floats
No pool party is complete without fun in the water. Browse our selection of pool floats and toys — from inflatable loungers to diving rings — to keep guests of all ages entertained for hours.

Set up the party zone
Round out the backyard with comfortable seating and shade. Our backyard and patio collection has lounge chairs, umbrellas, and outdoor furniture to make your poolside area party-ready.

Keep everyone safe
With more people (and more kids) around the water, it’s worth double-checking your pool safety devices, like alarms and secure ladders, before the first guest arrives.

With a clean pool, the right toys, comfortable seating, and a few safety basics covered, you’re ready to host a pool party your guests will remember. Shop One Source Pool today and get everything you need delivered before your next get-together.
