Who's pool's the coolest? Yours, of course. Illuminate your pool or spa with the natural art of a beautiful jellyfish. Super bright LEDs light-up the jellyfish's cap and tentacles, spreading a soft light throughout your pool. Floats at and below the water surface to maximize its presence. Beautifully sculpted and detailed jellies are 18" tall and 9" in diameter. Two color palettes: blue or ruby. Requires four AA batteries, not included.

Want to get mesmerized? Enjoy illuminated, dancing waters; shifting patterns of colored light create a kaleidoscope effect underwater. This water and light fantasy has several different modes to suit any mood. Includes a remote control to easily operate the water and lights. Water flow into fountain causes unit to spin, creating a great show. No hose hook-ups required; battery powered. Floats freely around the pool or can be tethered in place.

WaterRipper Ball

Upon first glance, this lightweight ball might not look any diffferent than a vinyl hackey sack ball. The RipperBall's "secrets" are its  slow-acting, collapsing beanbag design, balanced density and water-absorbing materials, which maximize density and performance on water. In a nutshell, it works really well.

My daughter and I tested it out in the pool, and sure 'nuf, it skipped and skimmed across the water without sinking, making a big splash or thud. While my pool is not big enough to test out the WaterRipper's claim that it can cross 100 feet of water while staying in the pool, it worked just great. Another plus: it has to be the pool toy that takes the least amount of storage space, since it's about 3" x 3". Perfect!
