We’re halfway through summer (or so we keep telling ourselves) and the pool is our new best friend. It's time to kick the relationship up a notch with our picks for the best pool toys in town. Turns out underwater games have come a long way since rubber duckies...
• Admit it, Water Noodles are irresistible. The spaghetti-shaped floats are available in a multitude of dazzling neon colors and make water fights and simple floating a whole lot more fun.

• Classic weighted Diving Rings pull double duty: entertainment and fitness. Race to pick up the most rings and earn bragging rights, strength and breath control.

• Import a moving target with the All Pro Floating Basketball Net. Play one-on-one or five-on-five for a great time and an impressive workout.

• Go fishing with Rainbow Reef Beta Fish and you'll think twice before using rods and reels again. It's exercise without thinking - those battery-operated fish can move.
