There is only one thing that deserves the title of “The World’s Favorite Pool Toy” — pool noodles. Also known as water woggles, this is one of the world's most sought-after polyethylene foam products. These colorful and vibrant foam noodles are loved by people of all ages. Alcot Plastics Ltd. in Guelph, Ontario manufactures the best foam noodles in Canada. We have been manufacturing top-notch water woggles for decades, making us true industry leaders. In this blog, we shed light on what makes pool noodles immensely popular.
What Makes Pool Noodles So Popular?
Buoyancy
One of the best things about pool noodles is its buoyancy. Of course, every pool toy stays afloat. However, the combination of lightweight, flexibility, and buoyancy make water woggles all the more easy to use. All you have to do is hold onto it to stay afloat. You can exercise, play, or learn how to swim without the fear of drowning. Thanks to its simple design, everyone from kids to senior citizens can rely on water woggles while in the pool.
Multi-Purpose
While its uses in the pool are evident, it doesn’t end there. Pool noodles, despite its name, also have countless uses outside the swimming pool. From being used as swords for playfighting to being used as goalposts during soccer games, kids often make creative use of water woggles. They are also often used for art installations and babyproofing homes. Alcot Plastics Ltd. manufactures pool noodles with holes in the middle. This makes it easier for them to be cut into two halves, making it ideal to be used as a protective layer on sharp edges in homes.
