Pool Toys / Games Thread - Does it exist?

[reinnov8r]

Looking for ideas for fun games for the pool. Is there a thread? I haven't seen anything.

Thanks!

I have one for you: About | Watermelon Ball - The Ultimate Swimming Pool Game Fun times!!!

Toys for the kids-diving sticks and rings.

The blow up bull ride...hard to get on and stay on but many laughs are had with the try.

We've had some fun with this new toy. The older, 20+ aged, kids have enjoyed it the most.

Not a pool game but they now make waterproof uno cards....great for playing pool side.

Cornhole pool side bean bag toss seems to be the latest rage around here. Floating lighted beer pong table in the pool! Can't go wrong with a dozen beach balls to knock around either.

We usually have several toy threads each season. Look back through the threads in the Coffee Bar, here are a few:

Pool floats and extras
Favorite Pool Toys for Grownups?
Favorite pool toy?

I do like the idea of an annual thread for pool toys/floats, like we have for bbq, and bleach!

Watermelon Ball looks like fun but that pool or should I say pool water needs some TFPC love

 

[GOONiE]

Bought the watermelon. Will report back.

Yeah the first video water is bad! Second video water is much better. You can use it as an example between a regular pool and a TFP pool!

Thanks, everyone. Great advice / tips.

Ok, that bullride looks like something I'm going to need to get before Saturday's Fathers Day Pool Party. I dread saying this but.. I may have to go to Leslie's to find it.

Anyone still play Marco Polo????

Addendum- Just ordered the Bullride Float off my Smile.Amazon.com account and it will be here Friday!! And TFP will benefit! My Smile.Amazon.com purchases have gleaned TFP $7.24 this month alone!
(Also added a totally childish small brown gag thing* to freak folks out... I'll take it to work after that and freak'em out there later)

So they have this electronic hot potato.... it zaps the person who's left holding it after the music ends.... I wonder if doing this in the pool makes the zap more zappy?!?! Now THAT could be fun.....

Shocktato!

I read this thread a few days ago, and ordered a Watermelon Ball for my daughter's last day of school yesterday. What a blast! I also picked up a basketball set - cool but not as much fun.

The Watermelon Ball definitely invites creativity. Multiples would also be cool. You really can dribble underwater, bouncing off the floor and the sides. Throwing underwater is fun - and throwing above water is guaranteed to make a big splash! We did a 3-person "juggle" passing an air-inflated ball above water and the Watermelon Ball below water. And Monkey in the Middle is a whole new game with this thing! Part of the challenge is the angle of refraction when looking through water - you THINK you know where to grab it, but it's not there.

I highly recommend. And no, I will not be making any $$ from your purchase!

The Watermelon ball is awesome! The splash it makes is huge and the under the water bounce is so much fun. Warning: getting an unexpected hit in the breadbasket under water is good for a big “ooooof”!
