BGI POOLS
Professional Inground Pool Builders
At BGI Pools, we know that a custom inground pool is more than a backyard feature—it’s where families make memories. As trusted Myrtle Beach inground pool builders, we help homeowners create beautiful, functional pools designed for year-round fun. One of the best ways to enjoy your pool, especially with kids at home? Dive into creative and engaging pool games that are safe and fun for all ages.
Whether you have toddlers, tweens, or teenagers, here are 10 kid-friendly pool games that turn any swim day into a family event.
Float several rubber ducks or toys in shallow water. Kids choose a duck—some are marked with stars or numbers to win small prizes.
Great for: Shallow tanning ledges or beach-entry pools
Use floating rings and cones or bottles anchored to the pool floor. Kids take turns tossing rings and trying to score.
Pro Tip: Use soft, foam materials for safety.
Scatter colorful dive toys in shallow areas. Kids use small nets or buckets to “catch” them, promoting coordination and confidence in the water.
Drop weighted dive rings or toys to the pool floor and let kids race to retrieve the most.
Fun Twist: Assign point values to different items.
A classic pool tag game. One child is the “shark” and tries to tag the “minnows” as they swim from one side to the other.
Best for: Mid-depth pools with plenty of swim space
Kids sit on floats or noodles and use other noodles to gently bump opponents off. A fun, laugh-filled balance game!
Safety Note: Adult supervision required.
Set up a net across the pool and divide into teams. It’s competitive, energetic, and perfect for older kids and teens.
Set up a course with floats, hoops, or balls. Add challenges like swimming backward or balancing an item.
Great for: Pool parties and group play
The classic blindfolded tag game. One player calls “Marco,” others respond “Polo”—and the chase is on.
Pro Tip: Perfect for larger pools with designated swim zones.
Best for: Wide pools with shallow ends for standing
Use noodles, hula hoops, inflatables, and more to create a DIY obstacle course. Kids of all ages can crawl, float, and swim their way through for time or just for fun.
One of the many benefits of custom inground pool design is tailoring your space to suit your family’s needs. Whether you want built-in ledges for younger swimmers, wide-open swim lanes for older kids, or integrated water features that double as game zones, BGI Pools can bring your vision to life.
