Fun Games for Kids Around the Pool
A pool is a great way to get kids out of the Texas summer heat. In Texas, it is almost necessary to have a pool to survive when you have kids. Make sure that it is safe for them as well. Be sure that any games the kids play are appropriate to the size of the pool so that they don't get injured falling onto the side. Adults should always be on watch to ensure safety as well. Don't take your eyes off the kids for even a minute! Keep the pool in good working order and drain covers intact. A local builder can ensure that your Corpus Christi pool is safe.
A hit with older kids is the 'air mattress contest'. This is where kids stand on the air mattress to see either how long they can stay standing, or how many kids can stand on the mattress before falling in or sinking. Obviously, keep them away from the edges of the pool. If they won't stay away - don't let them play.This is a game that requires a larger pool. Austin pool builders can build a pool to you specifications.
Everyone knows how to play "Marco Polo". Named for the famed Italian explorer, just remember that if you are caught when someone yells "fish out of the water" then you are it!
Another fun game for older kids is 'the whirlpool'. In this game, the kids line up along the edge close together. They begin to move around the edge of the pool clockwise. First they walk, and then begin to move faster. After several minutes, they create a current that will carry them around. For added fun, have them turn around and try to move against the current.
Some pools have adjustable supply jets which can help with the current.
'Battleships and Submarines' is another fun game. Each team has a side of the pool that is their home base. The battleships take over the pool while the submarines stay on their side. The battleships try to get the submarines to chase them. The submarines must swim underwater and try to tag the battleships. If a battleship is tagged, they must become a submarine. If the submarine comes up for air and the battleship splashes the sub, then the sub must switch sides. Many pool games are even more more fun in a larger pool. An investment with an Austin pool builder can get you into a pool without breaking the bank.
In a larger pool, you can have a lot of fun with a cannon ball contest. Corpus Christi pool builders can build pools that are at the depth you require for diving, or shallow activities. Get your kids together and see who can come up with the most creative way to cannon ball, or who can make the biggest splash.
