Fluid Aquatics Deluxe Dipping Pool Noodle

The scoop

This Fluid Aquatics Deluxe Dipping Pool Noodle is the kind of markdown that pool owners will want to grab before the summer crowd catches on.

This is a 5.5-inch pool noodle made from triple-dipped PVC vinyl, weighing in at a light 2.2 lbs. It features an inner NBR tube for structure and a wavy textured surface designed to make gripping and holding it more comfortable in the water.

At under ten dollars, this is a solid deal for a noodle of this thickness and build quality. Standard pool noodles often use thinner, single-dipped foam, so the triple-dipped construction here suggests a more durable option that should hold up better against sun, chlorine, and rough pool play.

Pool floats and noodles often get marked down toward the tail end of summer as retailers clear seasonal inventory to make room for fall merchandise. Since this item is showing up on clearance now, in mid-August, expect limited stock and don’t count on a restock if you want one for the rest of the season.

If you’ve still got pool days ahead, this heavy-duty noodle looks like an easy grab at this price. Anyone else stocking up on end-of-summer pool gear before it disappears?
