Can it float on water after you throw? If it float, much easier to retrive, rather than dive and search the bottom of the big pool.

no, it has weight to it which helps it travel thru the water. Child must be able to swim underwater.

does not float. sinks after losing momentum of the throw. great toy btw and easy to retrieve from bottom

It does not float. However it is not super heavy so it stays mid depth well.

No doesn't float. Great pool toy for kids and adults alike as long as they're skilled enough to swim under water to retrieve torpedo.

I can't see any reason why this could not go in the water. The outside is similar to a basketball. My daughter and I used it on the beach all summer; it got wet and sandy all the time. We rinsed it off w/the hose after our workouts. The ball seems sturdy; I'd give it a try! We love this thing!

I've found it not to, but I did notice on the back by the flash/heartbeat sensor it did raise a little bit. I still take it in the pool, and it does just fine. Just be careful and check the back before and after it gets wet. Hope this answers your question.

No catch pool. Just ends. You can make it fun by digging a hole and dropping plastic in for them to splash into at the end? :). My kids and their friends love the slide! It is VERY slippery to walk on when wet!

Yes this will float on the water if you accidentally drop it in since it has air inside it and the air doesn't easily get out (it will not instantly sink like a rock). However, I did a test on it (seeing your question) and if you leave it in for a while, it will start filling the inside with water and start sinking (I left it for an hour and it was 1/2 filled).

I have a 27 foot round pool. I always have my filter running when I use the Rover, and have never saw it get moved around. It is extremely heavy once it fills up with water, which is what makes it sink to the bottom of the pool and not float back up. I have a pretty hard time getting it pulled back up and over the side of the pool when it's finished, especially if it's full of leaves too.

In my opinion this would work well as a ball pool. I am unsure about using a float in it because it is not very deep.

I tested on the pool before taking it to the lake and it sunk after 2 minutes using it. It is really powerfull and fun to play with but the hull is not water tight.

It floats on the surface of the water, but once you stop you can't get moving again without something to launch from. Its not something you generally use far from shore.

Yes, with practice. I learned to throw no-spin, so it was a little easier but it does NOT throw like a knife, so there's some adjustments. My only complaint isn't really a complaint, but an observation. When this this thing hits on it's side, instead of a point, it can rebound with incredible energy and distance, so beware. Also, you might want to paint it a bright color; it can bury itself in dirt, grass etc. quite effectively.

You can, but don't hang on it. Mine has fallen in the pool due to a 90 pound boy hanging on it. The hoop is fine, as are the boys. Awesome hoop. Must have.

Like all the other answers said, Pinch the valve! I spent probably an hour trying to figure it out as the directions were not clear on this! Once you get the hang of squeezing the valve and blowing it goes faster. My daughter used this float when we went to Florida when she was 6 months old. It was so nice to be able to put her in the pool and not have to hold on to her the whole time.

No. Its pretty bottom heavy. Unlikely it will be upside down at pool bottom.

Very light weight. It is easier with a pump but can be inflated manually. Less effort to inflate than a pool float due to smaller size. I don't quite inflate mine 100% to allow me to float a little lower in the water.

Yes it's pretty easy to move. It might be more difficult if you fill the bottom with water or sand

I've read that if you remove the hose and leave it lay flat in the sun it will reprogram itself to a new path in the pool. It seemed to help when I did it.

it's better to use a pool basketball a regular ball would be too big, the water basketball is a better size.
