Pool game ideas for this summer: 5 must-do games!
1. Shark vs Swimmers 🦈
How it works:
One person is the shark in the middle of the pool. The others are the swimmers and they have to make it across the pool without getting tagged. If you get caught, you have to choose: Truth or Dare. It’s fast, hilarious, and gets competitive real quick.
Why it’s awesome:
- There’s swimming, shouting, and lots of chaos.
- The person who gets caught becomes the next shark.
- The surprise Truth or Dare twist keeps everyone on edge.
2. Underwater Treasure Hunt 🤿
How it works:
Throw a bunch of random items into the pool (think diving rings, spoons, goggles, toys…). Everyone dives in to collect as many as they can. But here’s the twist: some of the objects come with mini underwater dares.
Example dares:
3. Underwater Charades 🤸♀️
How it works:
One person picks a topic (or gets one randomly), goes underwater, and acts it out. The rest of the group stays on the surface and tries to guess what it is. The results are usually ridiculous, and that’s the best part.
Theme ideas:
- Movies: Titanic (obviously), Barbie, Fast & Furious
- Objects: hair dryer, scooter, doormat
- Animals: octopus, llama, seagull

4. Musical Floaties 🛟
How it works:
Just like musical chairs, but pool edition. Put on a playlist (Summer vibes? TikTok hits? K-pop?), float around some pool inflatables while the music plays, and when it stops, everyone races to grab a spot. The one left out? Yep, it’s Truth or Dare time.
Pro tip: You can swap floaties for hoops, noodles, or air mattresses. Be creative.
