Gadgets That Can Float

With summertime and the warm weather here more people are spending their free time and weekends hanging out by the pool. You get the chance to swim and relax ask you bask in the sun’s warming rays and pass the day away floating around and enjoying life. What could be any better? Surely if you had easy access to some of the great technology and gadgets that make life easier and more of a party it could be more fun for you, but everyone tries to keep these delicate devices away from the water where they can be damaged. The exceptions to this rule are the gadgets and technologies that exist today that are designed to not only be waterproof but to float alongside you so you can have easy access whether you are in or out of the pool.

  • Speakers – There are few things better than when you are hanging out by the pool than having the right music mix or playlist right beside you for the afternoon and evening. Instead of having to lug out your sound system and hope you can get it aimed right to give you the sound you want or bring your delicate music player anywhere near the water, you might want to try investing in a Bluetooth speaker that can float in the water with you. Monster Products offers a great speaker that floats with the speaker facing up so that you can be sure to get the best sound possible.
  • Camera – There is bound to be some action going on in the pool that you want to capture in pictures or on video but there is no way you want your smartphone or camera anywhere near the pool water. Luckily, there are a number of waterproof cameras you can invest in that let you get shots both above and below the water. JVC makes the Everio GZ-R320, which is designed to go as deep as sixteen feet so you can get all of the action shots you want of people jumping into the pool or swimming underwater at the pool or at the beach.
  • Walkie Talkies – everyone knows that having your smartphone by the pool is a big no-no, but there may be times where you still want to talk to your friends but do not want to get out of the pool to do it. You can get a pair of walkie talkies like a pair from Cobra that can cover a thirty-seven mile range and it will float in the water right next to you. It is also ideal for camping trips, with a built-in flashlight and weather and emergency radio receivers.

Summertime is for relaxing and enjoying the weather and water while you have the opportunity. If you can get some of these technology devices to make things even easier for you then you can be sure that you and your friends always have everything you need right at hand to enjoy your time at the pool.
