"I purchased these for stocking stuffers for my kids they're very competitive in the summer with diving toys it's hard to find ones that have the numbers on them so they can compete and add to their score after finding everything."
"They are good fun for the price but they don't go as far as described when you are trying to toss them underwater but none the less, my 6 year old and I...and Gpa had a good time with them."
"My kids love these!"
"Too my surprise, my sister received them and immediately sent me pics of how big these toypedos really are ... "toy" being the key word, I guess."
"It encouraged them to go under the water longer and longer."
"It is more of a keep away from the baby brother, make him go fetch, and then laugh when he can't dive in the deep end kinda toy."
"I bought these for pool toys but thought they were somehow able to shoot across the water."

"While it seems like the color on one of the rings has faded slightly in the chlorine (or sun), the rest of the rings & air pockets seem to be holding their color fine, even though we often leave them in the pool when not in use. Each ring has a small air pocket with a tiny pump inside, to inflate it slightly, which is what holds the ring in an upright position in the water."
"In the last couple of weeks she has FINALLY started swimming under water so I wanted to get some fun pool items that would encourage her to do more of it. Surprisingly after 15 minutes of searching I miraculously found the little white button and spring on the bottom of the pool floor and was able to pop it back in. Sometimes it is a race to see who can go through them the fastest, who can go through them with them spaced out further apart, and my daughter loves to make her own tricks like swim through one and do a handstand."
"Update: I spoke with Terri at Stream Machine (company) who informed me that the swim rings that I, and some others, received were most likely an older version that is no longer being manufactured. So, at this point, I can say that I highly recommend these rings as a great alternative to other types of dive toys."
"Kids did have fun with them, but the loops are joined by brackets that immediately start to rust and drip rust into the pool and rust is a pool's worst enemy."

"It also has a small inlet air nozzle, it inflate much more slowly than the big river rat inlet holes."
"It makes for a great photo prop and adds color to my pool."
"It is too big to take to our country club pool (not. Kidding when they call it gigantic) - had to find a creative way to even fit it inside my car (midsize SUV)."
"Blowing up by mouth is possible, but takes a while and requires strong lung capacity (aka not good for nerds like me that have asthma inhalers)."
"Too big for some adults even."
"They are big enough to hold adults, but easier to maneuver and store than old-fashioned tubes."
"Color faded quickly."

"I bought this after reading the good reviews and had high hopes of entertaining my twin 6 year olds with this over the summer. First, this is a pretty well built inflatable: the large wedge at the high end of the slide is on par with bounce house thickness and strength. There's quite a few pieces on it that require individual inflation: On the underside there's the large wedge and then a "landing pad" under the middle. This slide was a lot of fun for them, but judging from their size I would think that once they hit 7 they'll have to think of more creative ways to play with this since the ride down will be a bit short. I think just turning 5 would have been an optimum age for them to get this for the most use (gauging physical ability, likelihood of falling off the top, etc). Inflated, the landing pad plumped up the slide, so the kids went faster and hit the bottom edge of the pool harder. I don't know if I missed the point with how they expected kids to get up there, but without the stepstool they roll around more to get into position (and get closer to falling off) while climbing and ask for help."
"I'm sure you'll see this comment in many other reviews as I did, so I knew what I was getting into and thought "what the heck" for the price point and one summer. A small raft chamber underneath the base of the slide, and at the back for kids to stand on when they are climbing up. I purchased an Intex pool repair kit for $7 with adhesive glue and vinyl, and it masks the problem, but does not fix it. Not counting the leaks (which require me to leave out our pump and periodically pull the kids off to add air), the whole thing took me about 45-60 minutes to set up the first time. If your product stays well inflated, you can easily empty the water, let it dry and then deflate and fold. But if you end up with a situation similar to mine, you pretty much have to dry it with a towel because the partially deflated areas fold over on themselves and trap water."
"My three year old needs a stool though not ideal because there is a slant on the mounting part of the slide so she still has to leap from the stool."

"These are Closed cell, smooth surfaced, no fear of grains rubbing off in the pool. No more waiting for a turn to use one, and with so many, two or more can be used at a time, to make up for the 1/2 inch smaller size."
"Noodles arrived quickly and in great shape."
"Why buy a them one at a time when you can buy a 35 pack!"
"We were looking for the really fat ones with the thick walls, but these are at least not the skinny ones with the super thin walls, and they will do the job."
"The kids tear through noodles all summer and we use them around the house for other things (to keep boots upright, cut a slit up one side and put them over a hanger to keep creases out of pants, holiday crafts, etc.)."
"We used these to cover the frame of our backyard batting cage to protect the poles from damage!"
"They're not that great of a price really, nor are they that great of pool noodles (especially compared to swimways regular noodles)."
