Question

What are some games you've played in pools for middle school age students that have been fun?

Answer 1

Well you have the usual Marco Polo, Chicken Fights, and other sports such as mentioned above. I've also played:
Shark: You start by having a "Shark" on one side of the pool and everybody else on the opposite end. When the shark yells "Shark!" everybody trys to swim across the pool while the shark trys to pull them to the surface. If the shark succeeds then that person becomes a shark too. This continues until there is only one person left and they win.

Under-Water Basketball: You submerge two plastic crates at the bottom of the pool as hoops and then play like normal basketball.
