Neat ball that you can have fun with in the pool

JUST BUY IT!! When I purchased this, I had NO IDEA it would be so much fun!! It is well worth the price!It is made of very thick, sturdy material. My husband said it was super easy to fill.Lest you think this is only a child’s toy, my husband and I have no children, but we inevitably create ways to compete with it every time we get in the pool!! You might be thinking we’re crazy, but you’d be wrong. We’re actually just lots of fun, and unbelievably creative! ;-) We’ve used this as a heavy basketball for our floating b-ball goal. We pretended it was an underwater hacky sack, and if course, had a competition. We used it as a pool shot put. (I suck in that competition.) And when we have visitors, we’ve used it with in the way mentioned in the instructions - passing the ball to teammates under water, scoring by placing the ball on the pool deck at your team’s respective end of the pool.This pool season may be coming to a close, but I recommend getting this for next year!!

PROS:it was easy to use, easy to set up, it included a spare needle just in case one breaks. The instructions were clear and simple. The material feels and looks sturdy, not your average pool ball material.CONS:I did think it was a bit heavier than expected for it being a pool ball; usually they are lite but this one is different since it’s filled with water and not air. I do wish there was an easier way to remove the water. Therefore the 4 stars and not 5.Other than that, we all had fun playing with the Pool ball.

We ordered the small. It was a bit smaller than I thought it would be. But bottom line is, it works great! Easy to fill. Comes with everything needed and a patch ( but we have not needed that yet.) It works under the water and can float. This ball can take rough play and survive. My kids love it!

Worked well but became discolored after just a few months. We always thought it was mold inside so often family and friends didn’t want to play with it. We used it for 2 summers before reaching out to the company for instructions on how to clean it. This is when I found out it’s not transparent so we weren't seeing the inside. That was good news! I’m not really sure why the outer shell turned so black. It’s not dirty. Maybe too much sun? Regardless, I couldn’t resist cutting it open so hopefully it provides someone peace of mind that it’s not mold.

We were asked to try this ball for free but the following comments are completely objective. Overall, my kids really liked this ball and they look forward to playing with it again! The fun started with me accidentally spraying my daughter and myself as I filled it up. Ha! (I'll get the hang of it.) The kids enjoyed bouncing it off the bottom of the pool but they said it was a bit too small to kick it easily. The small size makes the ball easier for kids to pick up and the "sticky" rubber/plastic exterior is excellent for gripping during water play. The kids were surprised how heavy it was since they're not used to balls being filled with water. My son commented that you had to be careful not to throw it right at another kid because it could hurt, but it also made a great splash. We will try to experiment with the amount of water and resulting weight and buoyancy to see what they like best. I think this would make a great birthday gift for a pool-loving kid age 8 or above. Thanks!

Let me start by saying that the first group of kids playing with this were not my own. Mine was busy doing something else, so I asked some kids if they wanted to play with it. They attracted a crowd and everyone was playing with it in the pool. They loved the way it didn't sink to the bottom of the pool and it's size was perfect for small hands. One mother reported that they had a larger ball and it was too heavy for the kids, and she wanted to know where I got it. Then when my daughter showed up she engaged more kids in games in the pool and then, during the adult swim session, took the ball out of the pool for poolside catches. The ball is easy to fill and very durable. It's not heavy at all and even a partially disabled child was able to participate in the games as she was able to grasp it, catch it and throw it. I highly recommend this product!!

Who would have thought a simple pool ball could be so much fun. Spent labor day this year in the pool and have to say that having a new pool toy was fantastic. You can certainly dribble the ball and pass the ball under water with ease, but we kind of made our own rules up as we went and had a blast. We really enjoyed playing our version of the pool ball game and made the time go so fast (while still getting quite a workout in I might add). As for durability and sturdiness only time will tell and I will certainly update my review in the future should there be any issues, but the ball is a nice thick plastic and as most of the time it will be spent under water, I expect it will last for quite some time. Couldn't be happier with this purchase
