Pool Party Hacks for Any Occasion

Planning a pool party this summer? Make it unforgettable (and stress-free) with these must-have items and expert prep tips from Pinch A Penny. Whether you’re hosting friends, family, or just looking to enjoy a fun weekend, here’s everything you need to dive into fun—and keep your pool in top shape before, during, and after the party.

Tackle Pool Debris Before Guests Arrive

Before your guests arrive, make sure your pool is crystal clear by tackling debris head-on. Heavy-duty tools like the Porpoise Heavy Duty Leaf Skimmer Net and the Porpoise Curved Wall Brush are perfect for quickly removing leaves, bugs, and buildup along the pool walls, leaving your water sparkling clean and party-ready.

Toys, Games & Floats

• Torpedo Fun: Kids (and adults!) love the fast-flying Toypedo Bandits. Don't be fooled by their size, these little toys can fly up to 20 feet underwater!
• Friendly Competition: Bring out the Swimline Splash & Score Game for some in-pool hoops. Winner gets bragging right and the loser has to clean up after the party!
• Float in Style: Relax in the Margaritaville Sit & Sip Chair Float or lounge in the USA Swim Tube. Both are perfect for in-pool relaxation!

After the Fun: Post-Party Cleanup

• Shock the Pool: After heavy use, give your water a refresh with Bleach or Super Shock.
• Clean the Filter: Remove trapped debris with Spray & Rinse Filter Cleaner.
• Break Down Oils: Use Natural Pool Enzyme to tackle sunscreen and body oil buildup. (Bonus Round: It’s especially helpful for pool owners with swimming dogs—it helps break down fur and organic waste naturally!)
