When I think about summertime the first thing that comes to mind is kids playing outdoors on a hot day. Keep kids cool while outside with Bestway’s line-up of H2OGO! backyard water toys. Last year they revolutionizeed backyard water fun with the launch of the first and only water slide with a built-in inflatable speed ramp. This year they have an even more exciting line-up of H2OGO! outdoor water toys sure to keep the fun going all day and night!

Here is the summer lineup:
- H2OGO! Tether Ball Splash – The classic fun of tetherball infused with a new level of wet and wild excitement.
- H2OGO! Color Wave Pool – Splash around all night long in a rainbow of colors as the H2OGO! Color Wave Pool’s built-in LED lights illuminate the walls of the pool in an array of five different neon colors.
- H2OGO! Doodle Glow Pool – The fluorescent floor doubles as a blank canvas to create an underwater, glow-in-the dark art show.
- H2OGO! Backyard Water slides – Available in single, double and triple models, the patented inflatable launch pad eliminates the belly-flop ouch and smoothly propels riders down the 18-foot slide into the drench pool.
A watery twist to a timeless favorite, H2OGO! Tether Ball Splash takes the classic fun of tetherball and infuses it with a new level of wet and wild excitement. It is easy to assemble in minutes, the inflatable 6.5 foot Tether Ball Splash attaches to a garden hose and has a built-in water chamber at the base to keep the fun upright all summer long. Do note that it does not work like a traditional tether ball game where the cord would wrap around it because in this game the cord spins (and is better in my opinion). My kids are able to playfully swing and splash the spinning spray ball back and forth as they both giggle and laugh the whole time. It does not look like much but with water in the base it never falls over and my girls had a BLAST swinging it back and forth trying to get it past each other. The toy I thought they would like the least is the one they ended up playing with the most.

The backyard water fun transitions from day to night with H2OGO!’s Doodle Glow Pool and Color Wave Pool. Both inflatable pools are designed to extend summertime fun into the evening hours. Kids can splash around all night long in a rainbow of colors as the H2OGO! Color Wave Pool’s built-in LED lights illuminate the walls of the pool in an array of five different neon colors.
Pushing the bounds of creativity, The H2OGO! Doodle Glow Pool (not pictured) takes the artwork off of the refrigerator and puts it on the bottom of the pool. Utilizing innovative technology, the Doodle Glow’s fluorescent floor doubles as a blank canvas for kids to create an underwater, glow-in-the dark art show. Using two patent-pending LED underwater flashlights and a stencil set, kids can let their imagination splash wildly as they create an underwater world of glow art. I can’t attest to this toy as we didn’t get one to check out but it sounds super cool! Both the Doodle Glow and Color Wave Pools are constructed with sturdy I-beam construction, extra-wide sidewalls, hold 147 gallons of water and are designed for easy assembly and take-down.

H2OGO! single, double and triple backyard waterslides are back this summer. The H2OGO! water slide’s inflatable launch pad at the start of every slide reduces the impact of the landing (exactly what I wanted when I was a kid!!!!!). Without the ouch of a belly-flop, riders are smoothly propelled down the 18-foot slide into the drench pool. I highly suggest getting at least the double because it gives enough room on either side that way.
With over 20 years in the global inflatable leisure and water sports product markets, Bestway’s branded products are known in the industry for their unique, innovative and practical styles, designs, as well as cool product features. All are available at Toys R’ US, Amazon.com, Big Lots!, Kmart, Walgreens and Walmart.com. I find that they are meant to be used one summer season but at their great prices it works out. Enjoy these backyard water toys all summer long!
