Whether you’re new to owning a pool or have enjoyed a backyard swim for years, you’re always on the lookout for fantastic new pool games and toys. Beach balls and pool noodles are fun, and diving rings are classic, but there are so many more pool toys to enjoy!

A pool game is a great way to entertain in the water, so be prepared for your next pool party with a selection of pool games for adults and kids.

Here are a few ideas for floating games to get you started. You might not have seen these fun pool games before - but we’re betting at least one of them inspires a second glance!

Water Jousting

Can you knock your opponent off their log? The classic joust gets a modern twist with this inflatable log flume joust set. Logs are contoured, so you can easily sit and face off with competitors to see which player gets knocked into the water first.

Diving for Treasure

Ideal for kids who love to swim underwater. Instead of batons or rings, your little pool pirates can dive for sunken treasure! Plunder the wreckage at the bottom of the pool for fun pirate loot. Pieces are worth points, so players can keep track of whose salvage has the highest value.

Floating Game Boards

When you and a pal just want to chill in the pool, board game floats with waterproof pieces could be the perfect pastime. The floating poker table includes waterproof playing cards and two inflatable chairs, while the two-sided checkers and backgammon board has all the pieces necessary for play in or out of the water.

Water Battle

Battle board dead ahead; take evasive maneuvers! This cross between a swim board and a squirt gun offers target fun for two. Each battle board has a see-through windscreen to duck behind, plus two squirters filled directly from the pool so they never run dry.

Pool Arcade

We have a winner! Bring the carnival midway to the pool with a floating arcade game. Each player uses a built in constant supply water gun to take aim at the colorful, refillable targets.

Pools are fun all on their own, but floating and inflatable pool games up the ante. Get ready for swim season with a variety of swimming pool games that are so much fun, they won’t want to get out of the pool!
