20 Instagram Captions To Use For Your Next Poolside Photoshoot

Let’s face it: no Instagram post is complete without an Instagram caption. But all too often, choosing an Instagram caption can be even harder than taking the actual photo — trust me, I know. 

Since hot girl summer (and plot girl summer, of course) has officially arrived, it’s time for poolside and swimsuit pics galore — and with it, poolside and swimsuit captions. While the OG Instagram swimsuit picture was arguably born with Kim Kardashian’s iconic fur bikini back in 2015, the Instagram poolside photoshoot is still a fan-favorite today in 2022, with celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, and Matilda Djerf (because it’s a Matilda Djerf summer, bestie) spearheading the trend. 

So, what do you do if you want to partake in the poolside Instagram trend but don’t know what caption to use? Look no further! Whether you’re spending summer Sharpay Evans style (you know, a trip to the pool, a dip in the spa) or just need an excuse to post a thirst trap, here are 20 Instagram captions for pool photos that are bound to be fabulous.
