Three Types Of Coolers That Every Pool Party Planner Should Consider

Keep guests cool and beverages even cooler with these fantastic and versatile cooler products.

No pool party is complete without a variety of ice-cold beverages, so don't forget to pick up a cooler (or two!) before the big day arrives. Keep soft drinks, beer, and wine frosty and delicious as guests lounge poolside without worrying about melting ice or leaks. Take things to the next level by considering a floating option in addition to traditional coolers, so your guests won't even have to exit the pool to pop open a cold one. Just no glass in the pool, please!
