led swimming pool jellyfish

Jellyfish in your swimming pool = bad.

LED-lit piece of jellyfish art in your pool = very cool looking.

The Swimming Pool Jellyfish from Ocean Art float on top of the water but have tentacles that reach down. The whole thing is lit in light green or purple (your choice) with LED bulbs, creating a vondrous and eery effect. These jellyfish are about the size of the real thing but, fortunately, don’t sting. $45

It’s made of concrete (the sink, not the fossils) and gives any bathroom a modern yet prehistoric look. Available through High Tech Design.

floating ping pong table

Follow Me on Pinterest

It isn’t nearly as a large table tennis table. Nor can you stand far back from it and wind up for a killer ping pong shot, à la Balls of Furry. In fact, we can safely say that playing table tennis in a swimming pool not a sport that will be taking the world by storm any time soon. But it is a whole lot of fun.

We are talking, of course, about the Floating Waterproof Ping Pong Table.

The set comes with two oversized lollipop-like paddles, both of which float. Three balls are also included, though regular ping pong balls can be used. Altogether, a good deal for $60.
