Swimming is fun all on it’s own, but it’s even more entertaining when you have games to play in the pool. While Marco Polo is a classic, there are plenty of other activities your kids will love as well. Here are five of our favorite pool games for kids.
Mermaid races - You may also know them as dolphin or submarine races, but no matter the name, the point of the game remains the same - whoever can swim underwater the longest, wins.
Shark in the pool - Players are allowed to hop in and out of the water (but only five seconds at a time). The shark, which can have a mask, snorkel, or even fins, can only tag the other players while they’re in the water.
Popsicle - When someone is tagged, they have to stand straight with their hands above their head, like a popsicle. When a player is underwater, they can’t be tagged, but players can swim past a ‘popsicle’ and unfreeze them.
FISH - This pool game is based on the basketball game, HORSE. For FISH, have players compete for the best dives, splashes, and other pool moves. First one to form the word FISH, loses.
Watermelon relay - Divide into two teams, each with one watermelon. The first team to push the watermelon from one end of the pool to the other, without touching the bottom - wins!
