Bring Nemo and his friends over for a swim in your pool with these adorable floatie Finding Nemo toy designs. Now you can feel like you're swimming alongside the charming clown fish Nemo and his turtle buddy Squirt with these cute character pool toys.

It's hard to believe that [DreamWorks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shrek-inspired-shoe)' [CGI](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixar-collection) film Finding Nemo came out over ten years ago. Nevertheless Finding Nemo has continued to capture the hearts of many with its story of a farther journeying across the ocean in search of his lost son. These Finding Nemo pool toys replicate the animated appearance of Nemo and Squirt in a plastic toy design. Both pool toys come with wind up gears and movable fins so that they can look like they're swimming alongside of you in your pool.
