A brief description of pool party and some suggestion for planning.

1. A pool party is a celebration that includes activitites in a swimming pool for guests.
The party can be a wet and wild time if children are invited to the party, it also can
be a fun gathering for friends to enjoy during the hot summer months.
Keep the party simple so that everyone involved can relax and enjoy the fun, sun and
company.
A children's or teen pool party is often filled with beach toys and aquatic games, but
at an adult party there aren't any rousing games of Marco Polo, squirt gun fights, or
melting popsicles. At the same time, however, a pool party can be just as much fun
for adults who want to keep cool during a hot summer and are looking for a fun way
to celebrate a summer holiday or special occasion during the summer months.

2. Invitation
The invitations to a pool party should clearly indicate that the pool is the focal point of the
event. In addition to the regular details of party invitations - date, time, etc. - a pool party
indication should note whether guests should bring their own towels or other pool
accessories. To ensure the party is limited to adults, the invitation wording "adults only" or
"no children please" should be clearly visible.

3. Suggestions
• Keep the party simple so that everyone involved can
relax and enjoy the fun, sun and company.

4. Be safe!
Don’t let a drowning incident spoil your pool party. Follow the water safety tips below:
• Thoroughly discuss each child’s swimming abilities with their parents or caretaker.
• Provide or have children bring their personal flotation devices.
• Have rescue equipment and a working phone poolside.
• Use alarms, latches, fences to keep children from wandering into pool unsupervised.
• Be fully trained in CPR.
• Before swimming, review pool rules with children including no rough play.
• Assign an adult to be a “Water Watcher.” You can rotate by shifts. But make sure one
person is totally focused on watching the water, not
socializing, texting, drinking, reading, etc.
• Consider hiring a Lifeguard for large parties. Contact your local Y for
recommendation
