Throw away your normie pool floats,USA the Ridiculous Inflatable Swan-Thing is the only pool float the world needs from here on out.
Thanks to Instagram, pop culture, and Taylor Swift, pool floats have become an overly expensive trend in the past few years. Even people who don't have access to a pool were dropping their hard-earned cash on a piece of plastic filled with air and shaped like poop.

But the Ridiculous Inflatable Swan-Thing is just ridiculous enough to make fun of the whole trend, while simultaneously embracing the luxury that is floating on water.
For the low, low price of $43.51, you too can be the proud owner of the Swan-Thing, a creation by visual artist David Shrigley.

According to the listing on Third Drawer Down, the float was originally a sculpture, but the world fell in love with the thing, and it has since been made into a pool float.
Originally designed as a limited edition sculptural piece, cast in heavy polyurethane resin, the David Shrigley Swan has been blown up, literally. This inflatable swan may be missing the graceful curves true to a classic swan, but with its hand-drawn blank expression and erect white neck, it knows exactly what it is, it is a "Ridiculous Inflatable Swan-Thing". Named lovingly by David Shrigley himself, the statuesque swan stands at 35 inches tall and comprises all that is to love about Shrigley's charismatic work, while also being pool-ready.
