Looking for a way to make your above ground or semi in-ground pool even more fun and convenient to use this summer?
Well, we’ve got just the pool accessories to add to your outdoor oasis to turn up the fun and make your pool even more enjoyable this summer swimming season. Our list of accessories includes everything from the fun to the necessary to maintain and keep your pool running through every summer.
Convenient Pool Accessories
Making your pool more accessible should always be top of mind. Check out these pool accessories that add convenience for more frequent and safe swimming experiences.
Ladders and Steps
Depending on how your pool is set-up and landscaped, ladders and steps offer easy and convenient ways to enter and exit the pool. If you have a half or full-surround deck, you can consider adding steps inside the pool. If you don’t have a surround, you can add a combination ladder and step option for easy entry and exit on both sides of your pool.
Pool Tip: To keep your pool lasting a long time, it’s important not to climb the pool walls to get in or out. This could cause damage and leaks. Use a ladder or steps that are installed properly to keep your pool well-maintained.
Did you know Watson’s also carries accessories for your pool ladders? Light up the steps or add a slip resistant mat to add extra safety measures.
Clocks & Thermometers
No one wants to jump into a freezing pool! Well, maybe if it’s 100 degrees they do. Adding a thermometer to your pool is a sure way to make sure it’s the right temp for you. If you find your pool is too cold, consider adding a solar cover to absorb the natural warmth from the sun!
While we also wish we could stay in the pool all day, adding a clock is another convenience you’d never think you needed until you have one. This way you can avoid having to check your phone! Plus, Watson’s carries a wall clock with an outdoor thermometer!
Fences & Gates
Fencing is a requirement for owning a pool, but this also depends on what you already have in your backyard space and if you need more. Adding fencing directly to the pool is an additional safety measure you can take, especially if you have little climbers.
Self-closing and locking gates are another safety measure to add so gates aren’t accidentally left open for children to wander through. You want to make sure there is always a lock feature for when you’re not using the pool.
Storage
Trust us, you’ll never go wrong by adding more storage to any space, even your pool space! Storage comes in handy for many pool uses, including storing inflatables, towels, cleaning supplies, pool covers, toys and games, hoses, and more.
Pool Covers
Different pool covers serve different purposes. A solar pool cover is perfect during summertime use for two reasons, warming up your pool and keeping out large debris.
If you’re traveling for a while or are going to prepare for closing your pool, you’ll want a heavy-duty cover that attaches to the pool walls to keep out the winter elements.
Both offer protection so you can enjoy your pool for years to come.
Cleaning Accessories for Your Pool
To make cleaning easier and faster, you’ll want to consider adding some of these accessories:
Skimmers & Poles
For larger debris like leaves and twigs, a pool skimmer with an extending pole is a quick and easy way to clean without having to take much time.
Pool Cleaners
No one wants to swim in mucky water. Having a pool vacuum or cleaner is one way to guarantee a clean, clear pool to jump into. One of our favorites is the automatic Dolphin cleaner.
Pool Test Strips
Make sure your water is always balanced by stocking up on pool test strips. These will help you determine when you need to shock your pool or balance other chemicals.

Inflatables
Whether you want to lounge and sunbathe in the pool or play games, inflatables are a hit with every swimmer at every age! Watson’s carries pool inflatables for infants to adults in a variety of fun shapes, sizes, and uses.
Games
Inflatable games are fun and so are waterproof games. Play a round of Go Fish or other card games in the pool with a deck of waterproof cards. Can’t find any? Laminate your favorite deck or other card game and take the fun into the pool!
