Shark Swimming Pool Basketball Hoop Review

I really wanted to like this product. We bought it for my granddaughter's birthday. I'm really the last one for a birthday party but unfortunately we had to throw it away afterwards. Somehow I got a hole in my arms or top and collapsed. Everyone loved him and played with him, but it didn't last more than a day. BTW it took forever to blow it up, we finally found a compressor in the garage to do the job.

I bought a basketball that soaked up water and became too heavy. I couldn't find a hydro basketball so I bought a hydro volleyball and it works great.

I thought I read that it came with a weight to hold it in place in the pool but it didn't. I filled a pint milk container with rocks and water and tied it to the bottom of the toy with…

Just received the Shark Pool Basketball and so far so good. It actually inflates more than I expected. You need a pump to inflate it. I have a cheap inflatable toy pump that worked great. even if tomorrow my hands will hurt from pumping. An electrically driven low-pressure pump would make the work considerably easier. The basketball looks like a real one - the same rubber as I have for the court. It's a little smaller but about the same weight and feels "classy" like the original. I'll test it…
