How to play: Rope off one section of the swimming pool, and tell the players to get in that section of the pool. Give each player a beach ball. Players will balance themselves on the beach ball by holding on with their arms.
The rules: At the starting signal, players will swim around, balancing on their beach balls, and try to push other players against the rope or wall of the pool. If a player touches the rope or the wall, she is out of the game. If a player loses her balance and falls off her ball, she is out of the game.
How to win: The last player remaining is the winner.
What else you need to know: Players cannot use their feet to kick other players.
