Welcome to our castle! We hope you have a magical time surfing through it! Anglo Dutch Pools and Toys was founded in May 1985. We are a mom and pop store in Bethesda, Maryland, very close to Washington, D.C. Our humble beginnings started as a pool store carrying an automatic pool cleaner, the Kreepy Krauly, and BioGuard chemicals. We felt people should also have fun in their pools and started carrying games, floats, and a waterproof bar. This made us conscious of the children's needs in the swimming pool and started carrying life vests, swimming aids, and pool alarms.

During the year that followed, many customers came to us saying that they needed swimming accessories for swimmers and water aerobics. So, we started carrying swim suits, goggles, fins, kick boards, buoys, swim belts, and many other items. When customers came in and asked us why we only had water toys and no land toys, we started studying the matter and our toy store was born. As you can see, our aim is to make every person who crosses our drawbridge a happy and satisfied customer.

We are always available for any questions you may have. We feel that we already have a great niche in our area and wanted to grow to serve the world. Anglo Dutch will be happy to assist you with any need you might have. We want to help people living abroad who need to send a gift to someone in the continental United States. We will find a gift, wrap it (depending on the size), and ship it for you. Just give us instructions or comments, age of child or adult, gender, and a budget, and we will email our suggestions. If you have something specific you need, please ask us. You have a child in camp or boarding school? No problem, we can send them a treat! Voilà—problem solved!

As a family-owned and family-run store, Anglo Dutch knows the importance of quality, value, and service. We work hard to keep everything in stock and ready to ship the moment you place your order. Therefore, please contact us soon.

Our privacy policy is very simple. The information you provide is used to process, ship, and track your order. We will keep your information on file to make following orders easier for you, and/or if you have any questions.

We have been in business since 1985 and have never sold, rented, or given away any personal customer information to anyone; and we have no intention of doing so in the future.

Thank you.
