Pool float

A pool float is a thing you can play with in a swimming pool, like a toy. You can sit on it, lie on it, and float on it in the water. It looks like a big, colorful mattress made of plastic, foam or other materials.

Even if you don't know how to swim, you can still use it to have fun in the pool, as it can keep you on top of the water while you enjoy splashing around or soaking up the sun or reading a book. It's kind of like a little island or a boat that you can use to travel around the pool without getting wet.

Some pool floats are shaped like animals, others like fruits or other cute things. Some have handles for you to hold onto while others are completely flat. There are even some pool floats that come with built-in shade to protect you from the sun.

You can buy pool floats at many stores, and they come in different sizes, colors, and shapes to fit all types of people and preferences. Pool floats can be inflated with either a pump or by blowing air into them yourself.

Overall, pool floats are important for fun and safety in the pool!
