When the summer heat hits our pool in Arizona, it tends to feel more like a jacuzzi. Floating is fun... for about 5 minutes, so we have gathered a list of the top pool games you should have in your backyard to get you through the rest of summer.
While underwater treasure hunts help build swimming confidence and keep little divers occupied for hours, our list also includes poolside classics, like volleyball and basketball games that are made for the whole family to enjoy.
Check out our favorites below!

It’s easy to get nothing but net when you’re shooting at a hoop that inflates to 45-inches tall and 36-inches wide. Winning isn’t as simple as making a shot: Six open sides are each labeled with a point value between 50 to 150 points, and the highest scorer owns basketball bragging rights.
