What are some of your favorite swimming pool games?

Question

I know games like Marco Polo but I would like other ideas.

Answer 1

Shun the floater?

Answer 2

Treasure hunt.

You take a bunch of coins, shiny beads and other things you can retrieve from the bottom and take turns getting them.

You time them say two minutes, and whomever gets the most in the two minutes given, wins the game and if you want the coins too.

good luck

Answer 3

def polo

Answer 4

shark

Answer 5

Sharks and Minnows- One person stands backwards on the diving board (edge of pool). The other people go at the side of the pool and try to quietly swim across. The "shark" has to jump in and try to catch the "minnow". If the shark catches the minnow, the minnow becomes the shark. If he doesn't get the minnow, the shark goes back on the board. (If the shark turns around to and looks, he has to take a step forward)

Stars - One person outside (or sitting inside) of the pool and the others guessing go to one side. The person giving the clues picks a topic (Topics are TV, Movies, Actors). 3 clues each time. The people guessing have to swim to the other end and say their guess. If they are right, they get a point and they are now the one to give clues. If they are wrong, they have to swim back.

Hope that makes sense :)

Answer 7

-colours (everyone holds onto the side, and thinks of a colour in their head ROYGBV).  One person stands on the side with their back turned, and calls out colours.  When your colour is called, you try to swim to the other side without being caught.  If the caller hears you go, he/she can turn around and chase you, so the key is to be really quiet, even to swim the whole width/length underwater.

-Water polo

-tag on noodles

-sharks and minnows

-race from the side to get as many items as possible from the bottom of the pool, or items of certain colours, and bring them back

-relay races similar to the one above

Answer 8

Freeze Tag- 5 people are it. If you're tagged you stand with your legs open and someone who's not it has to swim under you to free you. The base is underwater. The object is for the taggers to tag everyone who's not it

Answer 9

polo
