There are many ways to enhance a pool party for adults and children with low-cost items that will provide hours of fun. Almost everyone has heard of the Marco Polo pool game and there are dozens of others from which to choose. The following are some of the most popular.

Aquatic Bean Bag Toss

The game is available with everything needed to play, including inflatable bean bags and the target.

Beach Ball Toss

Throw a beach ball in the pool and start the music. This variation of hot potato has players tossing the ball from one to the other. When the music stops, the one holding the ball is out.

Inflatable Ring Toss

The game comes complete with inflatable rings and “bases,” each of which is worth a certain number of points. Players toss the rings at the inflatable bases in an effort to accumulate the most points.

Jump or Dive

This variation of Simon Says has participants line up along the side of the pool while one person is in the water to call out jump or dive. Players that perform the incorrect move are out.

Noodle Jousting

All this requires is a couple of pool noodles and two inflatable platforms. Each person sits on an inflatable and “jousts” with their pool noodle. The winner is the one that doesn’t fall off the inflatable.

Ping Pong Scramble

Take one large container of ping pong balls and enough containers for each player to have one. Dump the balls in the pool and watch the fun as everyone scrambles to collect as many ping pong balls as they can. The game can be played individually or in teams. To be played by a point system, write numbers on the balls or award points by the number of colored balls collected.

Shark Tag

One person is the shark and other players try to make it from one end of the pool to the other without being tagged. Anyone that’s tagged becomes a shark and helps the original shark tag others. The last one un-tagged is the winner.

A swimming pool is enjoyable by itself and it becomes a magnet for good times when poolside entertainment is added. From stereo systems and TVs to games and waterslides, individuals have a wealth of options available to enhance any gathering.

Music

There are so many ways to deliver music to a pool it will be difficult to choose. Consider the installation of a free-standing poolside stereo system. They’re stylish, Bluetooth enabled, and can be operated via a mobile device. Stereo systems can also be built into the pool design with speakers strategically disguised as ordinary items such as rocks.

You can even pipe in your favorite playlist. To create ambiance for any type of poolside activity, you might want to think about placing a floating speaker in the pool. Outdoor audio systems are a welcome addition whether you’re throwing a theme party or entertaining at an impromptu gathering.

Television

A big-screen TV brings the action and adventure of sporting events up close and personal. A TV at the poolside is also great for movie nights and watch parties. It’s great for catching up on your favorite programs while working out or after getting the kids off to school.

Waterslides

For the feel of a waterpark, inflatable water slides can be rented for a day of entertainment. Models are available to appeal to every age group. The slides can be set up to deposit sliders directly into an existing pool.

Basketball Hoops

Basketball isn’t just for the hardcourt. Floating goals can be purchased or rented that can be placed directly in the pool for one-on-one action or form teams for competitions.

Fun Food Machines

Food is essential at any pool party and there are a wide variety of machines that can be rented or purchased outright to provide fun snacks and cool treats. Individuals can choose from machines to provide snow cones, cotton candy and theater-style popcorn, along with hotdog steamers. They’re great for munching while watching sporting events and keeping children occupied.

No Limits

There’s no limit to the activities in which family and friends can engage in with the appropriate entertainment options. The pool is a great gathering place for watching TV, listening to music, playing games, or just spending quiet time with loved ones.
