Consider the following fun swimming pool games if you’re having a pool party or even if you’re just having a few friends over for a swim.

These swimming pool games are sure to keep your friends entertained, and your pool party will be a big splash.

Prize Dive

Diving for a coin in a swimming pool is a fun activity, but if you’re having a pool party and you want to give away prizes, why not incorporate prizes with a fun swimming pool game? Instead of just tossing one coin into the center of the pool, toss in a handful of coins or small prizes. Pool party guests can have fun diving for items they can keep.

You don’t have to go broke with this fun pool party game. All you need are brand new pennies, nickels, dimes, and maybe a few quarters. Other ideas include fancy polished stones, faux gems, small unbreakable trinkets, and anything else that’s heavy enough to sink to the bottom but not hazardous to the safety of pool party guests. Toss the items into the pool, and give guests the green light to begin searching. Kids and adults of all ages will enjoy collecting the treasures they find.

Swimming Pool Duck Race

This fun and exciting swimming pool game is one of the most enjoyable games that all party guests will enjoy. It provides all the fun of a duck race without the little extras that real ducks leave behind.

To play this amusing swimming pool game, provide a plastic floating duck for each pool party guest. Have players line up at one end of the pool with their ducks in the water ready to go. After the appointed referee announces the start of the race, the players must push their ducks across the pool and back again. This doesn’t sound very difficult, but players can’t touch the ducks with any body part other than their nose. It’s more difficult than it sounds!

Wet T-Shirt Relay

This wet t-shirt relay isn’t the typical wet t-shirt contest. This wet t-shirt contest is fun and appropriate for all ages. All you need are two large t-shirts and two teams of pool party guests willing to play this fun and exciting game.

Line up equal numbers of pool party guests on either sides of the pool. Give a wet t-shirt to the first person in line on each side. At the start of the game, the first person must put the wet t-shirt on over their bathing suit and swim to the other side of the pool. After touching the other side of the pool, the person must swim back, remove the t-shirt, and pass it to their team member who then must put it on and follow suit. The first team to complete this task wins the game.
