Water Balloon Race
The water balloon race is one of the fun swimming races, team building games for kids and fun kids games to play in the pool.
6 or more players Ages: 6 and up
Adult supervision is needed for this game.
Very young children and children who either cannot swim or are poor swimmers should not play as players will need to swim into deeper water.
Begin by dividing the players into 2 equal teams. Each team lines up at the shallow end of the swimming pool, one player behind the others on her team.
A balloon is put in the water in front of the first swimmer on each team.
An adult calls out "ready, set, go!" and the first swimmers have to use only their heads (no hands!) to propel the balloon to the deep end of the pool - and then back to the shallow end - as they swim.
The winner is the team who completes the relay race the fastest.
You can set the rules up so that if a player uses his hands to move the balloon, he has to go back to the shallow end of the pool and start over again.
