Fun Swimming Pool Games

Transform your boring pool into a resort with fun swimming pool games!

Don’t let your swimming pool become all work and no play.

Nothing is more of a drag for me than working my butt off to keep my swimming pool clean and then not using it.

Sure, it’s nice not to have a dirty swimming pool, but swimming pools should be fun, right?

Playing swimming pool games will make having a pool fun…

Turn Off the TV and Video Games

My kids used to get in the swimming pool occasionally and splash around for a while, but before I knew it, they were back in the house watching TV or playing video games.

Ugh! Why are the kids cooped up inside, frying their brains on video games?

Have a Strategy

To solve this problem, you need to have a strategy because just getting in the pool and splashing around is only fun for 5 – 10 minutes, and then it gets boring.

Teach your kids to play popular swimming pool games that are fun.

I remember growing up and playing Marco Polo, but do you know there are more swimming pool games nowadays that kids and adults can play?

Also, why do you think 5-star resorts have staff members to teach their guests how to play fun swimming pool games? It’s because they want their guest to remember having fun.

Get involved and think of yourself as the facilitator for you guests (kids).

List of Swimming Pool Games

Here’s a list of fun swimming pool games that you and your family can enjoy playing:

Whirlpool Fun
Kickboard Relay Race
Sponge Race
Water Frisbee
Marco Polo
Treasure Quest
Dog Paddle Relay Race
Noodles Race
Rubber Duck Race
Cannon Ball Splash Competition
Shark Attack
Over and Under
Steal the Bacon
Pool Volley Ball
Tug of War

Conclusion

These are just a few swimming pool games that will get your family doing more with your swimming pool investment.

There are also books on Amazon and videos on YouTube that will help you find more activities to play and ways to keep your family and friends entertained.
