Select the proper pool tube. Choose one that not only suits your aesthetic tastes, but that also proportionally fits your body. If you are an adult, do not use a child-size pool tube. This could be very dangerous if you were to get stuck in tube. You could tip over in a tube that is too small and not be able to turn yourself up above the surface.

Decide how you want to swim with your pool tube. You can sit in your tube, relax and catch some sun rays. You could even read a book. Or, you can sit in the pool tub and paddle yourself around the pool for exercise or fun races. You can also swim with your pool tube by laying horizontally in the water with the tube around your waist; simply paddle with your arms and kick with your feet. With bigger models, you can have two or more people sit on the pool tube. When all of you are seated safely and away from the pool wall, start rocking the tube back and forth to make waves in the pool.
