The Ultimate Pool Day Setup: Big Joe, Beached Bum & Polar Bear Coolers

The perfect pool day isn't just about the water — it's about the float you drift on, the towel you spread out, and the cooler that keeps your drinks ice-cold from the first splash to the last sip. Here are three of the best pool day essentials for your ultimate backyard or resort pool setup.

The Float: Big Joe Sand Dollar Pool Float

The centerpiece of any great pool day — the Big Joe Sand Dollar Pool Float is a premium floating lounger in a beautiful tea green color that lets you drift in total comfort for hours. Made in the USA with Big Joe's legendary quality, the Sand Dollar's innovative design keeps you stable and comfortable whether you're napping in the sun or sipping a cold drink on the water. The pool float that turns any pool day into a vacation.

The Towel: Beached Bum Ocean Vibes Beach Towel

When you're done floating, the Beached Bum Ocean Vibes Beach Towel is waiting — a gorgeous turquoise towel with a vibrant palm tree and sun design and the Ocean Vibes logo that perfectly captures the laid-back pool day spirit. Oversized, absorbent, and beautifully designed, it's the towel that makes your pool deck look as good as it feels. The Beached Bum Life is the only life.

The Cooler: Polar Bear Coolers 12 Pack Original Nylon Soft Cooler

No pool day is complete without cold drinks — and the Polar Bear Coolers 12 Pack Original Nylon Soft Cooler keeps 12 cans ice-cold through the hottest pool days. Sleek black nylon construction with the iconic Polar Bear logo, lightweight enough to carry poolside, and durable enough to handle the sun, splashes, and everything a great pool day delivers. The cooler that serious pool day enthusiasts trust.

Pool Day Setup Tips

• Set up your float first — inflate and position your Sand Dollar float before guests arrive so it's ready to go the moment anyone wants to get in the water.
• Claim your spot with a great towel — an oversized, beautifully designed beach towel marks your pool deck territory in style.
• Pre-chill your cooler — load ice into your Polar Bear soft cooler 30 minutes before adding drinks for maximum cold retention all day.
• Coordinate your colors — tea green, turquoise, and black create a cohesive, stylish pool day palette that photographs beautifully.
• Stay hydrated — pool days in the sun are dehydrating; keep water alongside your cold drinks in the cooler and drink regularly.
