Our first set of pool noodles this past season was exceptionally flimsy for some reason. After our first regional, the ones on our front bumper were permanently compressed to about an inch thick.
The frame behind that bumper, incidentally, also developed some surprising curvature (we eventually had to swap it out with another, steel-reinforced piece).
