Sharks and Minnows
Sharks and Minnows is one of the fun swimming games, kids outdoor games and tag games.
4 or more players Adult supervision is needed for this game.
Older kids who are good swimmers can play in deeper water. Younger kids should play in shallow water.
One player is the shark ("it") while the others are minnow. Each minnow lines up in the water at one side of the pool.
The shark is in the middle of the swimming pool. He tells the fish to swim. They have to try and get to the other side of the pool without being tagged by "it".
The fish who make it to the opposite side safely are in the next round. They line up at that side of the pool.
Each fish who got caught by "it" is now a shark as well and helps the original "it" tag other swimmers. The winner is the last minnow who hasn't been tagged. He is now "it" for the next game. Depending on how many kids are playing, each round might not be very long. Give every child a chance to be the shark at least once throughout the game. Make the game more challenging for the players by having them have to swim back across the pool from where they started. They'll end up at their original starting point - well hopefully they will if the shark doesn't tag them first!
