From our friends at HeyPumpkin:

We’re only a few weeks into summer and already many areas of the country are experiencing record-high temperatures. While I’ll take a hot summer day over a brutally cold winter day every single time, there’s no denying it’s never fun being uncomfortably hot.

Thankfully, there are plenty of things you can do to keep yourself cool this summer besides just staying inside and cranking up the A/C. Don’t get me wrong — there’s a time and a place for that, but you don’t have to be inside 24/7 to cool down.

From specific clothes to fun water toys, here’s what you need to buy from Target to stay cool this summer!

Inflatable Swimming Pool

Swimming pools can be a pain to maintain, but they definitely come in handy during the summer months. However, if you don’t have a swimming pool in your backyard or easy access to a neighborhood pool, Target’s got you covered.

In fact, they have an array of inflatable swimming pools available that won’t break the bank. This Intex 6×20 inch inflatable outdoor pool is the perfect thing to get for your backyard, whether you have kids or not! Not only will it keep you cool this summer, but it’s on sale for just $56.99 (which is a steal, by the way).

Whether your kids are looking for a pool to splash around in or you just want to enjoy a delicious beverage in some water, this inflatable pool is the way to go. But, if you’re wanting to get a bigger pool or spend a little bit more money on something fancier, Target’s got you covered in that department too. 

Bathing Suits

Target is a great place to buy bathing suits for the summer, and it’s not just because they’re inexpensive (though that certainly helps). Along with not breaking the bank, Target offers a wide range of swimsuit options that allows everyone to find something they’ll be comfortable in.

Whether you prefer a cute bikini, a solid one-piece, or a tankini, Target’s got you covered. Plus, you’ll be able to find a cute swimsuit for any occasion, including your family’s summer vacation, Fourth of July, or a pool party in Las Vegas.

Coolers

How many times have you wanted to enjoy a few cold beverages in your backyard or at a picnic, only to have them get warm in less than 10 minutes? Truthfully, it’s happened to me more times than I’d like to admit.

To avoid warm beverages (which frankly, nobody wants), it may be time to invest in a nice cooler. Target has great Igloo coolers that range in both size and price. So, whether you need to keep 100 drinks cold or just 10, there’s a cooler ready for you.

Fun Sprinkler

If you’re not quite ready to invest in a swimming pool, go down the sprinkler route instead. In fact, there are a number of really cute sprinklers available at Target, including this cactus sprinkler and jumbo beach ball sprinkler. And they’re only $20! Bring them to any birthday party or backyard gathering and everyone will be singing your praises, I promise. 

Slip n’ Slide

Whether you’re having friends over to your house or you’re just looking for something fun to do with your family on the weekends, a slip n’ slide is always a great way to go. Not only is it fun, but it’ll also keep you cool too. In fact, this slip n’ slide from Target is on sale for $159.99 and comes with inflatable sleds to improve the sliding experience.
