A pool noodle (also known as a water log) is a cylindrical piece of polyethylene foam. Pool noodles may used by people of all ages while swimming. They are useful when learning to swim, for floating, for rescue reaching, and in various forms of water play. A pool noodle connector is a piece of pipe made out of foam, slightly larger than a pool noodle so that it can connect two pool noodles by encasing the end of each. This allows larger structures to be built from pool noodles. There exist at least two-, four- and six-hole connectors.
Noodle Wars
Pool noodles can be used to make toy "weapons" like swords or spears. You simply cut a pool noodle in half and you have two "swords", and the handle is the base of the noodle, or you can insert a piece of PVC pipe into the noodle and use that as your handle. You can make many "weapons", using pipe or not; some examples with pipe are swords, long swords, spears, maces, war hammers or axes, and daggers. Examples without pipe are swords, long swords, spears, and daggers.
