Biggest Splash

Need I explain?

Change Drop

The age old and very fun game where about $100 (you can dump less!) in change is dumped in a pool. At the whistle everyone dives in and goes crazy trying to collect as much as possible.
You can do so many variations of this with tokens, toys, items worth more points, etc.

Croc Wrestling

Get a big inflatable croc and choose 3 volunteers who will each have 60 seconds, by themselves to do the best show of croc wrestling in the pool. Give points for creativity, death rolls, etc.

Diving Board "PIG"

to show off a little. Line up the kids behind the diving board. Then Just like the basketball game "PIG" (or HORSE) the first person says what they are going to try to do. If they do it the next person has to do the same dive, flip, or whatever they did. If they also do it correctly then the next person has to do it as well. As soon as someone messes up they get a letter and then the next person in line calls what they are going to attempt. This continues until all but one person is eliminated by spelling "PIG". You may want to make up the rule that you can only use the same dive once per game. Otherwise you will have one person just keep doing the same double flip that no one else can do. You will need a judge or you can take a vote to decide if they get a letter or not.

Gold Fish Snag

Throw about 50 gold fish into a swimming pool. That's right you guessed it!! Whoever catches the most fish with their bare hands wins! For added fun, add some other bigger fish or try it in the dark!

H2O Long Jump

Start at the diving board (or side of pool). the catch is that you put floats, etc in the pool - and the jumper can try to "walk on water" for extra distance!
Added by Jon Peters

Jump or Dive

Here is a classic pool game that is fun for the crazy participants but slightly more entertaining for the onlookers.
One requirement is a pool that has a diving board and is large enough for people to dive into.

*One way to keep the game moving is to have elimination.
*For added fun, yell JUMP or DIVE just a little too late!

King of the Tube

This is a game where teams compete for time. Each team selects a champion that can stay on a tube the longest. One at a time, a champion sits in a tube, and when the timer starts, the opposite teams all try to tip over the champion WITHOUT TOUCHING HIM, only the tube.
Time each champion, see who stays on the longest.

Pool Waterskiing

That's right! You can water ski in a pool! (It just helps if it is an Olympic sized pool!) Just have a strong staff guy bracing himself and holding a water ski rope in the back of a truck just outside the pool area. When the skier yells Òhit it,Ó the truck takes off and skis the person 3/4 the way across the pool before the person in the truck lets go of the rope (for safety). Have people with inner tubes or blow up rafts on the side of the pool for safety! (ItÕs best to test this out with a couple of staff first to see how far to pull before letting go!)
This is just cool to watch. You can score it how you like. The best way is for judges to hold up numbers between 1 and 10.

Tractor Tire Pile Up

You just get a big tractor tire tube(the bigger the better) and see how many people you can get on the tire at one time. You will need to make sure that the tire stays in the middle of the deep end of the pool. You don't want anyone busting their head on the bottom or side of the pool.

Trash Bag Rafts

Give each group a certain number of the largest trash can bags you can find and some tape/rope etc. See who can build the strongest raft and then race across the width of the pool.
Added by Eben in South Africa

Water Hoop

Sometimes the most basic games are the most fun. That's right- get two hoops, one on each site of the pool and play a game of basketball. Make a 5 second possession rule- (ie: no one can have the ball for more than 5 seconds at a time). If girls don't get involved, make it so only girls can score.

Water Polo

Same as Water Hoop but with goals instead of hoops.

Water Ballet

Give each team a certain amount of time to perform a water ballet that involves EVERY team member.

Watermelon Polo

Water Polo with a small watermelon (or small greased watermelon)
Added by Jon Perrin, Plano, TX

Wet Sweatshirt Relay

Supply two teams with a large or extra large sweatshirt. Half of each team will go to the opposite end of the pool. At the whistle the first person of each team must put on the sweatshirt (over their bathing suit of course) and swim to the other side where their teammates are. Then they have to remove the sweatshirt and give it to the next person on their team. Teammates can help remove and put on the sweatshirt. First team who gets their team on the opposite side they started from wins.
