This is the best ball ever. We had hours of fun in the lake. I do have to say that it is for larger water surfaces like a lake or beach were you touch the bottom. We have tried it in the pool and it is too small of a surface, the ball always gets out. But I have to say that people will watch you while you play because they all love the ball. 2 people approached us while we were playing and asked us to see the ball because they wanted to buy it. One person pulled their phone and bought it right there.
