There are few things that top having a relaxing summer pool day. Especially when it's an eco-friendly pool day.

With super-hot summer days becoming the norm (did you hear about those sky-high temps in the Pacific Northwest?), it's inevitable that we'll be hitting the pool to escape the heat. But before you dive into that cool, chlorinated water, why not invest in a few sustainable pool day essentials to make it even better?

From sustainable swimsuits to natural sunscreens, these planet-friendly products can help you make a splash the next time you go swimming.
