Pete's Toy Box: Swimming

Swimming Coin, Christian Sports Coin for Young Athletes, For Boys and Girls, Gift for Swimmer or Swimming Team, I Can Do All Things Through Christ, Antique Gold Plated Challenge Coin, Philippians 4:13

By: LOGOS COINS

Pete's Expert Summary

My human seems to have acquired a small, metallic disc intended for one of their smaller, louder offspring who frequently returns to the den smelling of chlorine. It’s some sort of "challenge coin" from a brand called LOGOS COINS. It's shiny and features a tiny human flailing in water, surrounded by lettering that I can't be bothered to read but seems terribly important to them. While it's too heavy to be a proper throwing toy and certainly isn't edible, I must admit its size and heft are perfect for batting across the hardwood floors. It would slide beautifully, perhaps even disappearing under the sofa, providing a brief but stimulating mystery. Ultimately, it’s a cold, unfeeling trinket for humans to feel better about their strange, water-based rituals, but as a potential floor-hockey puck, it might just avoid being a complete waste of my attention.

Key Features

  • HIGH QUALITY SPORTS CHALLENGE COIN: This sports coin is meant to be given to a son or daughter competing in swimming. Remind a child or young person that through Christ, all things are possible.
  • CHRISTIAN COIN WITH BIBLE VERSE: On the front is a swimmer mid stroke, with text, "I can do all things through Christ... Philippians 4:13" / "Swimming". On the back is a swimmer mid stroke, with text, "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13". Size: 1.25"
  • MEMENTO MEDAL FOR THE WHOLE TEAM: Give one to your children, or buy them in bulk to pass them out to the whole team. An uplifting sports token in victory or defeat, help someone remember that Christ is always their ally.
  • ENCOURAGING PASS ALONG TOKEN FOR ATHLETICS: This high-detail pass along challenge coin is a great tool of appreciation or encouragement to all players of the team. Hand them out to help bolster team morale.
  • UPLIFTING HANDOUT FOR YOUNG ATHLETES: This challenge coin serves as a reminder that we can always be improving. Whether we win or lose, there is always a lesson to be learned to help us continually improve.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The object appeared on the nightstand, a glint of dull gold in the lamplight. It was an offering, no doubt, but a puzzling one. It smelled of nothing but metal and the faint, clean scent of the human’s hand. I, Pete, approached with the cautious dignity befitting my station. The coin was cold, inert. On its face, a miniature human was trapped in an eternal, desperate stroke, a captive in a gilded prison. Around him, etched words proclaimed some nonsense about achieving all things. "All things?" I scoffed internally, giving the coin a disdainful nudge with my nose. It didn't even have the decency to wobble convincingly. I was ready to dismiss it as yet another of my human’s incomprehensible follies when a sudden gust from the heating vent sent a stray receipt fluttering off the dresser. It danced in the air, a papery ghost, before beginning its slow, taunting descent to the floor. For weeks, I had studied the physics of these falling papers, my pounces always a fraction of a second too late, my claws meeting only empty air as the target landed softly. It was my most frustrating, private failure. My gaze fell back to the coin and its tiny, struggling swimmer. A strange thought took hold. This wasn't a contest of brute force. The paper was not an adversary to be overpowered, but a riddle to be solved. The coin, with its message of absolute capability, suddenly seemed less like a monument to human delusion and more like a key. I looked from the serene, unmoving coin to the chaotic flutter of the falling paper. The coin represented focus. Control. A single, perfected purpose. The swimmer wasn’t flailing in desperation; he was executing a flawless, practiced motion. He wasn't trapped; he was in his element. Ignoring the coin itself, I channeled its essence. I didn't watch the paper. I *felt* its trajectory. I anticipated the eddy of air that would make it dip and swerve. I became a creature of pure predatory calculus. As the receipt made its final, deceptive lurch, I moved. Not with a frantic leap, but with a single, fluid extension of my paw, intercepting its path with a quiet *tap* that pinned it decisively to the rug. I glanced back at the coin. The little swimmer seemed to give me a knowing glint. Very well, token. You offer no sport in yourself, but you have served as a worthy muse. You may remain.

ROBO ALIVE Robo Turtle Robotic Swimming Turtle (Orange + Blue) by ZURU Water Activated, Comes with Batteries, Amazon Exclusive (2 Pack)

By: Robo Alive

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in her infinite and often misguided wisdom, has procured a pair of robotic turtles. According to the packaging she so rudely crinkled near my napping spot, these plastic imposters are "water activated," meaning their primary function requires the one element I find most distasteful. They apparently can also "walk" on land, a feature I suspect will be a clumsy, battery-draining mockery of true locomotion. While the notion of two of them swimming in five different, unpredictable directions offers a modicum of intellectual stimulation—a complex pattern to decipher—the entire enterprise seems perilously close to the "wet" category of toys, which are an immediate and profound waste of my time. It's a fine line between a worthy strategic opponent and a damp, plastic nuisance.

Key Features

  • ZURU Robo Turtle: Drop your Robo Turtle in water and watch it come to life with ZURU’s advanced water activated technology!
  • Walk and Swim: These Robo Turtles can take on land and sea for the ultimate Robo adventures!
  • Swim in 5 Directions: Robo Turtles can swim in 5 different direction.
  • 4 to Collect: There are 4 different colored Robo Turtles to collect to complete your Robo Aquarium!
  • Robo Alive: Robo Alive features functioning robotic pets, that move and act like they're real! They're more than alive - they're Robo Alive!

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The disturbance began not with a box, but with a sound. A low, rhythmic *clack-scrape... clack-scrape* echoed from the Great White Cavern, the humid room my human disappears into each morning. It was a sound wholly unfamiliar, a mechanical limp that grated on my finely tuned ears. Duty-bound to investigate any disruption to my domestic tranquility, I stretched, extending each claw deliberately, and padded silently toward the source. Peering around the doorframe, I saw the human kneeling beside the giant porcelain basin, her attention fixed on a small, orange creature stumbling aimlessly across the dry basin floor. It was a pathetic display, a cheap facsimile of life that moved with the grace of a dropped rock. I let out a dismissive scoff, a puff of air through my nostrils. My judgment, however, was premature. The human, with a grin that always precedes some form of chaos, twisted the silver tree and a torrent of water began to fill the basin. The moment the water touched the orange shell, the pathetic clacking ceased, replaced by a determined whir. The thing came alive. Its flippers began to churn, and it swam away from the waterfall with a surprising swiftness. Before I could fully process this transformation, the human dropped a second turtle—this one a deep blue—into the newly formed pond. It, too, burst into motion, and the two began to circle each other in a complex, interlocking dance. I crept closer, my belly low to the cool tile, my innate aversion to the wetness warring with a primal fascination. They weren't prey, not really. They were... a puzzle. One would dart left, the other would dive, their paths weaving a silent, aquatic story. I watched them from the precipice of the tub's edge, my tail giving a slow, thoughtful twitch. They were predictable in their unpredictability, a system of chaos contained within porcelain walls. I saw no value in batting at them, in getting my pristine white paws damp for such a trifle. But I did not leave. I settled onto the bath mat, folding my paws neatly beneath my chest in a perfect loaf. This was not a toy for play, but for contemplation. It was a private, ever-changing art installation provided for my viewing pleasure. Let the human think she had bought a simple toy. I knew better. She had acquired a mesmerizing tactical display, a silent ballet of gears and water that, for now, had earned my sustained and critical observation. They were worthy of my attention, if not my direct intervention.

SwimWays Hydro Waterproof Football, Outdoor Games for Adults and Kids, Swimming Pool Accessories and Pool Party Games,9.25 Inches, Blue

By: SwimWays

Pete's Expert Summary

My human has presented me with an oblong, suspiciously blue object they call a 'Hydro Football.' The brand, SwimWays, seems obsessed with making things wet, a concept I find fundamentally flawed. Apparently, this thing is designed to be thrown by loud, small humans in that giant, terrifying bathtub in the backyard they call a 'pool.' Its primary features are being waterproof and having 'incredible grip,' which might make it a marginally satisfying surface to test my claws on, should it ever be left unattended and, more importantly, dry. Otherwise, it seems destined for a life of chaotic splashing and shrieking—a complete and utter waste of perfectly good air, and a disruption to my far more important schedule.

Key Features

  • Water Football: Perfect for the park, beach, playground, or backyard, this durable waterproof football lets you keep the game going in almost any condition; Recommended for ages 5 and up
  • Great For Kids: Double tuck laces provide incredible grip in or out of the water and the heavy duty stitching and long-lasting air retention bladder provide consistent performance
  • Game On: Hit the backyard, pool, or beach with Swimways Hydro waterproof football, lacrosse, catch, volleyball, and more; Our Hydro line is 100 percent waterproof for uninterrupted play in all conditions
  • Fun For The Whole Family: Our pool game, floating toys, paddleball sets, and more are perfect activity for parties, playdates, and family time; Great for kids to adults and all ages in between
  • HYDRO: From our Hydro line pool sports equipment to our Sportz line of dodgeball, volleyball, flying discs and more, we make toys to maximize good times in the pool, park, playground, or backyard
  • Includes: 1 Swimways Hydro Football
  • Covered by the Spin Master Care Commitment. See below for full details

A Tale from Pete the Cat

It arrived without ceremony, a foreign dignitary left unannounced on the living room rug. A silent, blue emissary from the Outside. As lord of this domain, it was my duty to assess this intruder. I descended from my armchair throne and began a slow, deliberate patrol around its perimeter. Its shape was an affront to Euclidean geometry—not a proper sphere, but a strange, elongated ovoid. Its skin was a startling, unnatural blue, and it smelled faintly of the factory that birthed it and the faint, unsettling promise of chlorine. My initial investigation involved a series of probing sniffs along its strange, white-stitched spine. The humans called these "laces," but I saw them as crude bindings, holding the creature's form together. I extended a single, pristine white paw and administered the First Ceremonial Pat. The response was a dull, hollow thud. There was no give, no satisfying squish, no rustle of hidden catnip. It was inert, soulless, and utterly unresponsive to my authority. This was not a tribute to be enjoyed, but a test of my patience. My final judgment was about to be rendered when the human snatched the object away, cooing something about "the beach." I watched from the window as they took it to the edge of the world, where the grass ends and the great, roaring water begins. They threw it into the waves, and it bobbed, undaunted. I saw then its true nature. It was not an emissary to my court, but a vessel for the vulgar. A simpleton, content to be tossed about in the churning chaos of water and sand. I turned away, tail held high in contempt. It was a toy for a lesser mind, a bauble for the easily amused. My velvet cushion was infinitely more complex and rewarding.

Robo Alive Robo Fish Robotic Swimming Fish (Pink + Golden) by ZURU Water Activated, Changes Color, Comes with Batteries, Amazon Exclusive (2 Pack) Series 3

By: Robo Alive

Pete's Expert Summary

So, The Staff has procured a pair of plastic aquatic imposters from a company brazenly named 'Robo Alive'. The concept is simple, even for a human: you immerse these facsimiles in water, and they are meant to spring to "life," swimming in various directions and even changing color. While the promise of a moving target that doesn't require me to go outside is mildly stimulating to my primal hunting instincts, it all seems like a great deal of effort requiring a significant water receptacle for what is, ultimately, a glorified, battery-operated bath toy. It is a spectacle, certainly, but whether it is a spectacle worthy of interrupting a perfectly good sunbeam nap remains to be seen.

Key Features

  • ZURU Robo Fish: Drop your Robo Fish in water and watch it come to life with ZURU’s advanced water activated technology!
  • Hyper Realistic: Robo Fish look and move just like real fish and swim in 5 different directions.
  • Color Change Technology: Watch your Robo Fish magically change colour when dropped in water!
  • 6 to Collect: There are 6 different colored Robo Fish to collect to complete your Robo Aquarium!
  • Prank your friends: Prank your friends with the ultra-realistic technology of Robo Fish!

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The ceremony began in the Sun Room, my personal solarium. The Human, with an air of theatrical importance, produced a large, clear glass bowl—an object I usually associate with a tragic lack of tuna. She filled it with water, creating a shimmering, miniature world on the floor of my domain. Then, from a crackling plastic prison, she freed two captives: one a shocking shade of pink, the other a cheap, glittering gold. They were stiff, lifeless. I gave a dismissive flick of my ear and began grooming a perfectly acceptable patch of fur on my shoulder, feigning disinterest. She dropped them in. There was no splash, just a quiet *plink*. For a moment, nothing. I allowed a smirk to form. Another failed trinket. But then, a twitch. The golden one shuddered, its tail vibrating with an unnatural energy, and began to move. It swam not with the grace of a real fish, but with the frantic, buzzing energy of a trapped fly. The pink one followed suit, its body magically shifting to a strange purple hue as it submerged. They were an affront to nature, an undead ballet of plastic and circuits. They were utterly horrifying. I was captivated. I crept forward, my tuxedo-white paws silent on the hardwood floor. My body was low, my tail a rigid metronome marking my burgeoning obsession. These were not fish. They were not prey. They were something else entirely—a paradox. They were alive, but not. They moved with purpose, but had no mind. I watched them circle each other in their glass prison, their tiny gears whirring just below the surface noise of the water. I raised a paw, hesitating. I would not deign to get my fur wet for such a ridiculous charade. Instead, I simply sat, a silent, grey sentinel, judging their performance. The golden one bumped against the glass in front of me, its vacant black eyes staring into my soul. I did not flinch. I had seen true emptiness before, usually in the bottom of my food bowl five minutes before dinner. This was different. This was a challenge. A silent, mechanical dare. I decided then and there that this hydraulic conundrum was, for now, a worthy diversion. I would study it. I would understand its secrets. And then, I would decide its fate.

SwimWays Mesh Floating Pool Chair Noodle Slings (4 Pack), Swimming Pool Accessories & Water Toys, Pool Noodle Not Included

By: SwimWays

Pete's Expert Summary

So, my human has presented me with these... mesh sacks. Apparently, they are from a brand called SwimWays, and their intended purpose is to be threaded onto a foam tube (not included, a classic bait-and-switch) so a human can bob around in that giant, terrifying water bowl in the backyard. From my perspective, this is a product of profound uselessness. The mesh might have some potential as a temporary, sun-drenched hammock if strung between two sturdy chair legs, but its primary association with the Great Wet Horror makes it immediately suspect. It is an invention designed purely for the baffling aquatic pastimes of giants, a complete waste of funds that could have been better spent on sashimi-grade tuna or a laser pointer with a fresh battery.

Key Features

  • FLOATING POOL CHAIR NOODLE SLINGS: All these mesh slings need is a pool noodle (not included) to create the perfect floating seat
  • JUST ADD A NOODLE: Simply thread the noodle into the fabric holes around the back of the sling - no inflation needed
  • ULTIMATE RELAXATION: Sit and drift on the soft, soothing mesh and take relaxing to another level by partially submerging in the water
  • GREAT FOR KIDS AND ADULTS: Can be customized with a skinny or wider noodle for both kids and adults, with a recommended noodle size of 55" x 3.25" and no larger than 3.3" in diameter
  • VALUE PACK: Includes four mesh noodle slings, making them great for everyday pool time and for pool parties as a fun and affordable way to provide pool floats for the whole group
  • Includes: 4 Slings
  • Covered by the Spin Master Care Commitment. See below for full details

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The Provider returned from an excursion with a crinkly, transparent bag containing four brightly colored, flimsy nets. They were laid upon the living room rug like a quartet of slain, fluorescent jellyfish. I observed from the safety of the armchair, tail twitching in mild irritation. Another offering. Usually, they involve feathers or catnip, things of actual value. These smelled of plastic and disappointment. The Provider babbled something about "pool" and "floating," words that are nonsense to my refined ears. I am a master of terrestrial lounging, not some damp, drifting simpleton. With a sigh that communicated my profound condescension, I descended to investigate. The material was a coarse mesh, entirely unappealing for biscuit-making. It had two large holes, a design flaw of epic proportions. I gave one of the sad, blue sheets a tentative pat. It yielded with no resistance, a truly pathetic display. Was this a trap? A poorly conceived ghost costume? The Provider seemed to expect a reaction, their hopeful face beaming down at me. I responded by pointedly turning my back and grooming a perfectly clean patch of my white tuxedo chest. The message was clear: try harder. My dismissal, however, was premature. Later that evening, after The Provider had abandoned their strange nets, a sliver of moonlight caught the blue one just right. It wasn't a toy. It was a shroud. A hunting blind. I crept towards it, my paws silent on the hardwood. With a surge of predatory instinct, I pounced, snagging the mesh with my claws and dragging my "kill" into the shadows beneath the coffee table. It was a magnificent, silent battle. I was the great hunter of the plains, and this was the hide of some exotic, sapphire-hued beast. It made a satisfyingly rustling sound as I subdued it. The Provider found me in my new lair, curled atop my vanquished prize. They laughed, a sound I tolerate. They do not understand the gravity of my work. Let them have their other three nets for their strange water rituals. This blue one is mine now. It is the first trophy for my den, a testament to my prowess. It is utterly useless for floating, but it is an excellent symbol of my dominion over this house. It is, I have decided, worthy. Not as a toy, but as a spoil of war.

Water Gun for Kids - Squirt Gun Adults Summer Super Water Blaster Soaker Water Guns Toys for Boys Girls Toddler, 2 Pack Small Watergun for Swimming Pool Beach Yard Outdoor Fighting Toy（Blue Orange

By: BebouToye

Pete's Expert Summary

My human seems to have acquired a pair of brightly colored plastic contraptions from a brand called "BebouToye." Apparently, these are instruments for propelling water at one another, a barbaric pastime for their species. From my superior vantage point, I can see they are lightweight, transparent (a useful feature for monitoring the enemy's ammunition), and claim to shoot a stream of that dreadful wet stuff up to 25 feet. While the vibrant orange and blue might momentarily catch my eye, the core function is anathema to my very being. The promise of "enhancing family bonds" through mutual drenching is a concept so alien it's almost laughable. Ultimately, it seems like a sophisticated delivery system for misery and a complete waste of what could have been a perfectly good shipping box for napping.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The indignity began, as it so often does, with the arrival of a cardboard box. I had claimed it immediately, of course, its crisp corners and enclosed darkness a balm to my soul. But my tenure was short-lived. The Human, with the glee of a simpleton, tore it open and produced two strange, hard-shelled artifacts, one the color of a garish sunset, the other a shocking blue. They were hollow, their innards visible through their transparent carapaces. My initial thought was that they were some new, avant-garde treat puzzles. I extended a soft, white-tipped paw to investigate the blue one, testing its weight. It was light, almost flimsy. My hopes, however foolish, began to rise. My optimism was misplaced. The Human, joined by a smaller, louder version from next door, took the objects to the forbidden realm of the "outdoors." I watched, a silent, judging shadow in the window, as they approached the great silver serpent that spits water into the garden. They unscrewed a plug from the back of the plastic things and held them under the torrent. I saw the transparent bodies fill with the vile liquid, the water level rising with alarming speed. It was not a treat puzzle. It was a weapon. My whiskers drooped in profound disappointment. The ensuing chaos was a study in primitive warfare. The small humans chased each other across the lawn, their shrieks piercing the afternoon calm. Streams of water shot from the weapons, glinting in the sun before splattering against their targets. I noted, with detached academic interest, that the range was indeed impressive; the blue weapon, wielded by my human, easily soaked the smaller one from behind the rosebush. The transparent design proved its worth, as I could see them both glance at their devices to gauge remaining "ammunition" before retreating to the silver serpent to reload. The "easy fill" design was brutally efficient, minimizing downtime and maximizing soak-time. As the battle raged, I retired to my velvet cushion for a more thoughtful analysis. The BebouToye Water Gun is an exquisitely engineered tool for a purpose I find utterly deplorable. It is efficient, lightweight, and possesses a tactical clarity in its design that even I, a master strategist of the household, can appreciate. However, it cannot be batted, it cannot be chased, it holds no catnip, and its primary function is to deploy my mortal enemy. It is a marvel of pointless, wet aggression. A well-made device for a contemptible activity. It is not worthy of my attention, but the box it came in? That, I shall conquer.

JOYIN Inflatable Swim Tube Raft (3 pack) with Summer Fruits Painting, Pool Toys for Swimming Pool Party Decorations

By: JOYIN

Pete's Expert Summary

My human has presented me with these... things. They are apparently called JOYIN Inflatable Swim Tube Rafts, which is a needlessly long name for what are clearly three oversized, vinyl donuts meant to be sacrificed to the Great Wet Terror in the backyard. The marketing insists they are for "summer fun," a concept I find deeply suspicious as it usually involves loud splashing and a distressing lack of respect for my napping schedule. They come in garish fruit patterns—watermelon, kiwi, and lemon—and are made of a thicker material, which I suppose is a minor concession to prevent immediate deflation upon contact with a superior being's claws. While the prospect of a large, circular, sun-warmed surface is intriguing for lounging purposes, its intended proximity to water makes the entire proposition a high-risk, low-reward venture.

Key Features

  • This bundle includes one watermelon ring, one kiwi ring and one lemon ring
  • Inflate size for the rings is 32.5 inches, Recommended for ages 9 years and older
  • Great for kids Seasonal merriment, summer pool parties
  • The rings are made of high quality Phthalates free Materials, 0.25 mm thicker material delivery better quality and more durable than any other products in the market! (Repair patches are included)
  • Use these colorful fruit ring floats to add more fun to your summer!

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The day began with an assault on the senses. A wheezing, plastic gasp filled the living room, a sound that always precedes some new form of human foolishness. I watched from my perch on the back of the sofa as my human, with the lung capacity of a startled field mouse, inflated three luridly colored rings. They swelled into existence like monstrous, inedible fruit slices, smelling faintly of a factory and disappointment. The human then carried these abominations outside and left them on the sun-drenched patio, a vibrant trap laid near the shimmering blue menace of the pool. For an hour, I observed. This was not mere curiosity; it was tactical surveillance. The rings just sat there, baking in the heat, their bright colors an insult to the tasteful beige of the patio stones. The watermelon one seemed the most audacious. I decided it would be my target. I descended from the sofa with practiced silence, my gray tuxedo a smudge of shadowy purpose against the bright day. I crept towards the patio door, a secret agent on a mission to discern the enemy's true nature. Was it a flimsy portal to a wet dimension? A sticky trap? With a flick of my tail for balance, I slipped outside. The heat on the stone was pleasant on my paws. I approached the watermelon ring, circling it as a shark might circle a particularly foolish seal. I extended a single, cautious paw and tapped its taut surface. It gave a soft, yielding *boomp* and felt surprisingly warm. There was no stickiness, no sinister hum. Emboldened, I placed both front paws on it, testing its stability. It held. This was no mere flimsy toy. The "thicker material" they boasted of was, for once, not a lie. In a fluid motion, I leaped. The landing was a soft *whoosh* of air, a gentle embrace. The surface was a perfect cradle of warmth, a circular sun-drenched island all my own. The world looked different from up here. I was elevated, a monarch on my fruity throne, surveying my kingdom of trimmed hedges and carefully curated flowerbeds. The humans, with their splashing and their shrill laughter, had missed the point entirely. This wasn't a "pool toy." It was a portable, deluxe, outdoor napping disc. A solar-powered comfort station. They could keep their water; the watermelon ring had found its true and noble purpose.

Inflatable Tanning Pool Lounger Float - Jasonwell 4 in 1 Sun Tan Tub Sunbathing Pool Lounge Raft Floatie Toys Water Filled Tanning Bed Mat Pad for Adult Blow Up Kiddie Pool Kids Ball Pit Pool (L)

By: Jasonwell

Pete's Expert Summary

My human has presented me with what appears to be a giant, inflatable, silver-and-white vessel from a brand called "Jasonwell." They call it a "tanning pool," which I interpret as a portable, deluxe sun puddle generator. The sheer size and the promise of a "comfortable pillow" and "air cushion base" are intriguing; the potential for a sun-warmed nap is high. However, its primary function involves being filled with *water*, a substance I find vulgar and entirely beneath my dignity. Its reflective surface is designed to maximize sun exposure, a feature I can appreciate, but if the human dares to add the wet stuff, this glorious napping platform becomes nothing more than a giant, glorified water bowl I shall refuse to approach.

Key Features

  • Comfortable Pillow & Air Cushion Base - The inflatable tanning pool is integrated removable pillow and ribbed air cushion base. Pillow for added support to your neck. Air cushion base for added comfort. Designed for ultimate lounging experience, relaxation, sun bathing and more.
  • All in One Pool - Tanning Mat, Personal Pool, Pool Float, Pool Lounger, Lake Float, Ball Pit all in one. Enjoy it tailored to your need. You can use it in your backyard, on water or beach etc.
  • Fill Water and Keep Cool - Fill the sun bathing tub with water, lay out and tan on the water without getting overheated. Enjoy a sunbath and relax.
  • Added Stability - Integrated with wrap-around rope for floating maneuverability, tie to other floats or deck and enjoy!
  • 1 Built in Cup Holders - Have beverages close as you enjoy the sun tanning or floating.
  • Reflective Base - Ensure maximum exposure to UV rays
  • Premium Vinyl - The tanning pool float is made of heavy duty thick, soft and premium raft-grade non-phthalates material. It’s easy to wipe down, inflate, deflate, and store.
  • Dimensions : 71 inches long and 48 inches wide. We stand by the quality of this float and are glad to provide a 6 months manufacturer’s warranty at no additional cost.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The Yard-Tender, my primary staff member, unfurled a great, silvery sheet upon the grass. A monstrous sighing sound followed as the thing swelled into a low-walled fortress, its reflective material shimmering like a dragon's scale under the midday sun. It was a blatant territorial claim right in the middle of my domain. I watched from the patio, tail twitching, until the Yard-Tender committed the ultimate blasphemy: they introduced the Hose. Water flooded the perimeter, creating a shimmering, shallow sea. But in the center, a raised platform and a plush, white "pillow" remained perfectly dry. It wasn't a fortress. It was an island. *My* island. A daring leap was required. I timed it perfectly, launching from the stone steps and landing silently on the vinyl shore with a soft *crump*. The surface was warm, humming with the sun's energy. This was acceptable. I patrolled the perimeter of my new domain, the water lapping mere inches from my pristine white paws. A fallen leaf drifted into my moat—an enemy vessel. I dispatched it with a single, sharp swat, sending it to a watery grave. I was king here. The wrap-around rope was not for "maneuverability," as some crude packaging might suggest; it was the boundary marker of my sovereign waters. Soon, the Yard-Tender approached, lumbering through the grass. They placed a tall, sweating glass into the strange circular indentation—the designated tribute receptacle. I sniffed it. Some sort of sweet, fruity human swill. Pathetic, but the gesture was noted. I ascended to my throne—the "integrated removable pillow"—and settled in, kneading the soft surface before curling into a perfect circle. From this vantage point, I could survey my entire kingdom: the buzzing bees, the insolent squirrel on the fence, and the loyal but simple-minded Yard-Tender. Jasonwell, whoever he is, had inadvertently created the perfect throne room. This floating kingdom was worthy. It would do.

Pete's Expert Summary

My human seems to believe their leisure is a matter of galactic importance, hence the arrival of this... inflatable throne. It's a Jasonwell, a brand I associate with large, plastic things that temporarily occupy my floor space before being consigned to the dreaded Great Wet Place in the backyard. This particular model is an opulent "lounger," a glorified air mattress with strategic holes and indentations. It boasts a mesh seat, presumably to let the horrifying wetness make contact, and cup holders, for holding their foul-smelling cold liquids. From my perspective, its only redeeming quality before its inevitable watery fate is its sheer size. When inflated on my living room floor, it could serve as a magnificent, albeit crinkly, temporary napping plateau. The box it arrived in, however, was a masterpiece of corrugated cardboard engineering and has already been claimed as my new fortress.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The monolith appeared in the sunroom after the human returned from a supply run. It was blue, vast, and smelled faintly of a sterile factory far, far away. My human called it the "Jasonwell," but I knew its true name: The Drifting Citadel. They spent an absurd amount of time forcing air into its gullet with a screaming machine, and then, they left it there, a silent, bloated testament to their bizarre priorities. My mission was clear. I, Pete, First of My Name, Lord of this Domain, had to investigate this new topography. The ascent was treacherous. Its sides were sheer cliffs of what the dossier described as "heavy-duty premium vinyl." A simple leap was beneath me; this required strategy. I performed a low, circling patrol, my white paws silent on the hardwood. I identified a structural weakness—the "cool foot area," a lower-walled inlet. With a preparatory tail-flick and a burst of controlled power, I launched myself. My claws made a brief, regrettable *skrrt* sound on the surface as I scrambled aboard, landing not with a thud, but with a soft *whoosh* of displaced air. I was in. The Citadel was mine. I found myself in the "cooling mesh seat," a strange, woven hammock that cradled my regal form perfectly. It was like a spider's web made of comfort. From this command center, I surveyed the rest of the craft. To my left and right were the twin turrets, the "cup holders," deep and sadly empty. A profound waste of potential treat storage. The "supportive backrest" rose behind me like a king's throne. From this new, elevated position, I could see the dust bunnies under the credenza with startling clarity. I was the master of all I surveyed, floating on a sea of captured air. I settled in, kneading the smooth surface of the command deck. The Citadel was surprisingly stable, a testament to its alleged "300-pound" capacity, though I weigh considerably less. It was a vessel of profound comfort and superior vantage. While I mourned its eventual deployment to the Chlorine Sea in the yard, its temporary service as my indoor observation lounge was an undeniable success. This was not a mere pool toy. This was a worthy throne. I closed my eyes, purring a low, rumbling engine noise. The Citadel and its new captain were on duty.
