When summer comes around, one of the main things on everyone’s mind is going swimming, whether in a back yard pool or at the lake or river. But sometimes it’s nice to have something to do in the water besides just cool off and swim around. And that’s where pool games come in.
Pretty much any game can be converted into a water version. You know of water polo, and you might have seen people playing volley ball in the water. Or tossing a football around. But how about billiards, ping pong, ring toss, and rock climbing?
The other things to keep in mind with floaties: look for decent thickness of the plastic, good seams, and a blow-up nozzle you can use. Some people get battery-powered air pumps (compressors). You can also get ones that plug in, and ones that plug into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter, which you can also use for flat tires. To find these if you’re wanting to buy them, check out Pool Toys, Floating Islands and Pool Floats.
