Properties with a pool: the fun activities you could offer!

Having a pool at your property is great, but offering activities around it is even better! Here is a quick overview of what you can offer.

Activities for children

The aim here is to keep the children and teenagers busy while their parents enjoy themselves.

You could set up slides for a morning, or leave balls available for games of water basketball.

Among the other activities, you might consider:

• Apaper aeroplane throwing contestover the pool
• Adiving contest
• Water polo
• A game ofdodgeball(with an activity leader to help)

Just make sure a lifeguard is always supervising these activities.

Activities for adults

One of the first activities that comes to mind is aqua aerobics: a little old-fashioned, perhaps, but there are plenty of ways to give it a modern twist!

Staying with sport, you can choose between aqua volleyball and aqua running. For the former, why not organise the odd tournament now and then?

For something more focused on relaxation, you could also offer aqua yoga, with or without a mask (some exercises require putting your head under water).

Finally, if you have the budget and the space available, why not install a few aquabikes? Just bear in mind that offering activities is a good thing, but do make sure your pool stays freely accessible for most of the day. Otherwise, guests who simply want to lounge by the water will be unhappy!
