Summer is here, and with it comes the sweltering heat that makes you dream of a cool, refreshing escape. At Doughboy® Pools, we understand the importance of having a backyard oasis to relax, play, and cool off. Our above ground pools are perfect for creating unforgettable summer memories. Here are some fun and creative ways to make the most of your Doughboy pool and beat the heat!
1. Water Volleyball and Basketball
Transform your Doughboy pool into a sports arena! Set up a volleyball net or a basketball hoop designed for above ground pools, and let the games begin. Water volleyball and basketball are perfect for family gatherings or friendly competitions with friends. These games are not only fun but also a great way to stay active and cool off simultaneously.
Safety Tip: Ensure the pool area is clear of obstacles, and always supervise children during these activities.
2. Float Away on Inflatable Loungers
There’s nothing quite like lounging on a giant inflatable in your Doughboy pool. Choose from a variety of fun designs, from flamingos and unicorns to pizza slices and donuts. Floating on a lounger with a cold drink in hand is the epitome of summer relaxation. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen and wear a hat to stay protected from the sun while you float away your worries.
Safety Tip: Never leave children unattended on inflatables, avoid alcoholic beverages, and make sure your family and friends are comfortable and safe in the water.
3. Host a Pool Party with Fun Themes
Take your pool parties to the next level by adding a fun theme. Whether it’s a tropical luau, a pirate adventure, or a retro 80s splash party, themed pool parties can be a hit. Decorate your backyard accordingly, prepare themed snacks and drinks, and encourage guests to dress up. A well-planned theme can turn a regular pool day into an unforgettable event.
Safety Tip: Keep a first aid kit handy and designate a responsible adult as the lifeguard to ensure everyone’s safety.
4. Enjoy a Relaxing Poolside Spa Day
Transform your Doughboy pool area into a luxurious spa retreat. Set up comfortable lounge chairs, play some soothing music, and light scented candles or tiki torches. Offer refreshing drinks like cucumber water or iced tea. Enjoy a dip in the pool between treatments to feel completely rejuvenated and relaxed.
Safety Tip: Ensure the pool area is well-lit and free of tripping hazards, especially in the evening.
5. Fitness and Exercise Routines
Your Doughboy pool is not just for fun; it’s also a fantastic fitness tool. Engage in water aerobics, aqua jogging, or swim laps to stay in shape. The resistance of the water provides a low-impact workout that is easy on the joints while being highly effective. There are plenty of online resources and videos to guide you through various water exercise routines.
Safety Tip: Exercise with a buddy and avoid strenuous activities if you’re feeling unwell or fatigued.
6. Water Crafts and Activities
Get creative with water-based crafts and activities. Try painting with watercolors while sitting poolside, making water balloon piñatas, or even building small boats to race across the pool. These activities are great for kids and adults alike, offering a fun way to spend time together and cool off.
Safety Tip: Keep all crafting materials and sharp objects away from the pool to avoid accidents.
7. Chill Out with Pool Noodles and Water Guns
Sometimes, the simplest activities are the most fun. Arm yourself and your friends with water guns for a friendly water battle or use pool noodles to create impromptu games and challenges. These inexpensive toys can provide hours of entertainment and are a great way to stay active and cool in the water.
Safety Tip: Make sure everyone involved knows how to swim, and avoid rough play that could lead to injuries.
8. Relax with Poolside Reading
For those who prefer a quieter way to unwind, bring your favorite book or magazine to the poolside. Set up a shaded area with a comfy chair or lounger, and enjoy a good read while dipping your feet in the water. It’s a serene way to enjoy the pool and stay cool.
Safety Tip: Keep electronics and books away from the water’s edge to prevent damage and ensure your relaxation spot is safe and dry.
