In this blog, we list three significant factors that make pool noodles so popular among the masses.
Pool Noodles Are The World’s Favourite Pool Toy
Versatility
Did you know pool noodles are an excellent aid for those learning to swim? Yes, that’s right. There is more to a water woggle than just being a pool toy. Swimming schools worldwide use foam noodles to help novice swimmers get more comfortable in the water. Their excellent buoyancy helps them stay afloat with minimal effort. Water woggles have widespread applications outside the pool as well. They are cut in half to baby-proof sharp corners in the house. Not to mention the unique ways kids find to use pool toys as goalposts, swords, and much more.
Safety
Pool noodles are squishy, soft, and absolutely safe. They are made of top-grade polyethylene foam, the world’s most popular polymer. Alcot Plastics Ltd. manufactures custom pool noodles using closed-cell polyethylene foam. The closed-cell structure prevents moisture and water from seeping in and damaging the water woggle from within. Our pool noodles’ impressive resistance to water and moisture also prevents mold growth, enhancing their safety.
Aesthetics
While the functional benefits of pool noodles are obvious, the visual appeal of vibrant water woggles floating in a swimming pool cannot be underestimated. Alcot Plastics Ltd. manufactures pool noodles in mesmerizing colors. We can customize the dimensions as per client requirements without compromising functionality or visual appeal.
