Top 5 Pool Party Songs for Adults

Posted by Backyard Ocean in Summer Fun - (0 Comments)

Summer = parties almost all the time! And no party is a party without awesome music blaring from the radio. Though we like the classics, it’s time we give the Piña Colada song a rest and bring in some up-to-date tunes. Starting with #5, here are our Top 5 Pool Party Songs:

  1. Where Them Girls At (David Guetta feat. Nikka Minaj and Flo Rida) – A great combination of express rap, pulsing beats, autotune and sultry bridge, this song is a definite party theme.
  1. The Lazy Song (Bruno Mars) – Can’t get enough monkeying around? Let Bruno Mars show you how to really spend the hot days of summer. Upload this song to your iPod and play it while lounging on a float.
  1. Last Friday Night (Katy Perry) – A weekend is never too long. And for the weekend revelers who can’t get enough of the fun, this is the perfect song to play at a pool party. With its upbeat melody and quirky lyrics, it’ll bring out the carefree nature of just about anyone.
  1. Don’t Wanna Go Home (Jason DeRulo) – With its throbbing beat and cool Day-O hook, Jason DeRulo’s tune will get everyone dancing like there’s no tomorrow.
  1. Party Rock Anthem (LMFAO) – The title says it all. ‘Nuff said.

Get your swimming gear ready and enjoy the HOT days of summer!

3 Classic Swimming Pool Games

Posted by Backyard Ocean in Summer Fun - (0 Comments)

If you’re planning on having a pool party this summer, you need to think of ways to keep your guests refreshed and entertained at the same time. Swimming pool games satisfy both criteria!Here are the top 3 games you can play whether you have an in-ground or above-ground swimming pool:

  1. Marco Polo – This game is a classic, and safe enough to play even in shallow pools. One player, who is “It”, closes his eyes or wears blackened swimming goggles. He shouts “Marco!” while the other players say “Polo!” he follows the sound of the other players’ voices, and tags another person while his eyes are still shut. The tagged person becomes “It”.
  2. Volleyball – Volleyball is an exciting game to play whether on land or in the water. For this game, you’ll need two teams of players, a volleyball net and, of course, the ball. Play this game in the same manner as you would in a beach volleyball game. Water volleyball is perfect for above-ground pools since they are an even depth, usually 4.5-5 feet.
  3. Beach Ball Race – This is a fun one for the kids. Each armed with a beach ball, two players push the balls with their noses across the surface of the water. Whoever reaches the other side of the pool first, wins. This game can also be played as a relay. In this variation, players will have to turn around and push the ball with their noses until they reach the starting line. Then, another team member does the relay until everyone in the group has played. The fastest group wins.

Summer is definitely a lot more fun when you have family and friends to hang out with. Backyard Ocean recommends putting these swimming pool games to the test at your next pool party!
