Swimming Pool Games are numerous and a great fun
both for kids and adults. They can be played in private inground or above ground
swimming pools. But they are mainly prohibited in public pools.
There are some games that are country popular, while others
are popular around the world.
Marco Polo swimming pool game is international, because you
can find it played in the US, Canada, the UK, and South America. The
rules of the game is very easy. One of players, Marco, is to catch any
of other players, but should do it with eyes closed. Players can call
'Polo', so that a catcher can understand where one stands. The one
player who is caught becomes a catcher, there is no winner in the
swimming pool game, because it's played for activity pleasure.
There is another variation of the game, the so called 'fish out of
water', the main difference between them is as follows: a catcher
should
have his or her eyes closed above water, but open
when underwater. In this case a catcher is called a searcher.
Sharks and minnows, or maidens is one more swimming pool game with one
person acting as a shark, and all the others being minnows or maidens.
The principle of playing is similar with MArco Polo. The
game starts after a shark calls 'Cross the ocean'. Other players begin
swimming or diving to the opposite wall of a pool, and the one who has
been touched by a shark is to become a next catcher. Minnows are in
safe,
after touching the opposite wall. If a shark can't catch a minnow
during the first sailing, then the game goes as long as a succeeder is
caught. Afterwards the title of shark is passed to
the one minnow or maiden caught. This swimming pool game is in favour
among kids around the globe, though it can have different names in
different countries.
Another popular swimming pool game is shoulders wars. After all the
players dividing into two teams, two players of the teams
should be chosen. The way of playing the game is easy
and funny: one player should shoulder the other one, the latter is
called a vehicle. And then the game starts: players of the rival teams
should make their competitors fall into a pool. Here is an interesting
point to keep in mind: an attacker can fight with hands and legs, but
should be careful not to fall in water, while a vehicle can only push
rivals. The team that has made competitors get into water wins.
Don't forget about water kinds of sport, such as water
polo, water volleyball or badminton, etc.
Make your swimming pool
game winning!
