Summer 2016 is coming in hot, and that can only mean one thing -- it's time to find this year's totally Instagrammable pool float.

Who could forget when summer goddess Taylor Swift set our 2015 pool float goals after she Instagrammed a photo of her and boyfriend Calvin Harris atop an inflatable swan? Between the swans and the subsequent rise of the pink sprinkled doughnut float, we were in inflatable bliss.
