Our swimming pools are designed with your family’s fun and safety in mind. From the thickness and strength of our liners to the durability of our pool walls and skimmers, we ensure that every component meets our rigorous standards. So, get ready for summer with these eight exciting swimming pool games that are perfect for the whole family!
1. Marco Polo
This classic pool game is a favorite for many. One person is “it” and keeps their eyes closed, calling out “Marco” while the others respond with “Polo.” The goal is for “it” to tag another player, relying solely on sound. This game is perfect for encouraging listening skills and providing lots of fun.
2. Treasure Hunt
Scatter several waterproof toys or coins throughout the pool and let the treasure hunt begin! Be sure toys do not have any sharp edges. Players must collect as many items as possible within a set time. This game is great for promoting underwater exploration and building swimming skills, all while ensuring players stay within their depth.
3. Water Volleyball
Set up a net across the middle of the pool and divide players into two teams. Using a beach ball, teams volley back and forth, trying to score points by getting the ball to touch the water on the opposing team’s side. It’s a fantastic way to promote teamwork and coordination while keeping everyone safe.
4. Water Tag
One player is “it” and must tag the other players who can swim or walk around the pool to avoid being tagged. The game continues until everyone has been tagged. This game is excellent for encouraging movement and agility in the water.
5. Pool Pictionary
Using waterproof drawing boards, teams take turns drawing and guessing various words or phrases while in the pool. This creative game is perfect for a more relaxed yet engaging pool activity, ensuring everyone stays safe while having fun.
6. Water Relay Races
Divide players into teams and set up a relay race with various challenges like swimming with a floatation device, walking with a cup of water on their head, or retrieving a floating toy. This game is great for building endurance and encouraging teamwork.
7. Floating Ping-Pong
Bring your table tennis game to the pool with a floating ping-pong table. Players can gently paddle the ball back and forth, trying to keep it from falling into the water. This game is perfect for a gentle, fun activity in your pool.
8. Balloon Toss
Players pair up and toss a water-filled balloon back and forth, taking a step back with each successful catch. The goal is to keep the balloon from falling into the pool water for as long as possible. This game is a great way to enjoy some playful competition while staying cool in the pool.
