VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- SwimWays(R) launches its Back to Pool(TM) campaign just in time for summer. For over 40 years SwimWays has prided itself on creating fun, safe, and innovative pool toys and floats.

We are equally passionate about keeping kids safe in and around the water."

All the excitement of Back to Pool has spread beyond traditional marketing efforts and SwimWays is taking Back to Pool online with an updated website, which includes new games for kids and social networking. The digital side of SwimWays summer campaign allows kids to have fun with SwimWays products outside of the pool.
