Dive into Summer: Pool Season Essentials

With summer rapidly approaching, residents of The Colony are eagerly anticipating lazy days by the pool under the bright sun. However, the excitement of these sun-soaked days hinges on being well-prepared. It’s time to gather everything you need for a fun and relaxing time at the pool.

Swimming Essentials

First, take a close look at your essential swimming gear. Inspect your swim goggles, kickboard, and pool float, among others, to ensure they are in good working order. Replace any worn or broken items before going for a dip.

Speaking of pool float trends, here are some recommendations for 2024:

Funboy Rainbow Chaise Lounger: This extra spacious and comfortable pool floater is suitable for many people and can securely hold your drink.

Waterlife 4-in-1 Pool Hammock 2-Pack: A more budget-friendly option that offers four floatation configurations.

TRC Recreation Sunsation Foam Pool Float: Straight out of the box, it can be used without inflation.

Beyond your swim gear, consider sun protection accessories like high-quality, broad-spectrum sunscreen and a stylish, comfortable swimsuit. Complete the look with a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and flip-flops to shield your eyes and feet from the sun and hot surfaces around the pool.

Remember to bring your essentials so that your poolside experience is comfortable and fashionable all summer. Luckily, the shops in Bastrop offer a wide array of options to complete your look so you can dive in confidently.

Safety Rules

Always remember that safety comes first. Never swim alone, and make sure to supervise children around the water. Maintain a walk-only policy and no-diving practice to prevent slips and head injuries. Now, let’s take a closer look at where residents can take a swim!
