Size is Everything
When planning your Pool Party it’s best to consider the size of your pool when putting together your guest list. No matter what size your pool is, inevitably there will be a point at which you would reach maximum capacity. Your guest list should probably not exceed this by very much. Of course, not everyone will be in the pool at the same time but if you have a large guest list you may want to schedule groups by age, grade, or some other method to ensure you don’t have too many people in the pool at one time.
Preparation is the Key
It’s good to make sure your pool is in good condition prior to having your Pool Party. Cleaning it at least a day in advance is a good idea because if you try to do this too early, chances are that it will not be as clean when your guests arrive. If you’re new to owning a pool, you may want to consult someone who is an expert to find out the best way to clean your pool prior to your Pool Party.
Invest in Fun
Swimming is fun but you should have a few Pool Party games, toys, goggles, and flippers on hand for guests to use when playing in the pool. You can even organize the party around a couple of neat pool games and give away small prizes to winners. This goes over really well with all age groups as long as prizes and games are arranged according to age group.
Safety is a Must
Here are a few important safety tips to remember while everyone is swimming:
• An adult should always be present when children are swimming.
• Flotation devices such as life jackets should be kept on hand, especially for smaller children.
• No one should swim alone. If the party moves inside make sure no one is left in the pool alone.
• Alcoholic beverages should not be consumed by adult swimmers.
Don’t Forget the Food
Swimming always leads to hunger. Make sure your guests are well hydrated and that there are snacks and food items available to swimmers, but don’t let your guests consume food in the pool, since food is a choking hazard and can make pool clean up pretty nasty. If you’re worried about the cost of providing food, you can save money on food items by having a potluck, fondue, or Raclette Pool Party.
Pool parties should always be laid back and carefree. A stress free party is fun for everyone including the host. Don’t work too hard to entertain and follow these helpful Pool Party tips and you’re sure to have a fun time.
