Game description
A specific number of floatable objects (table tennis balls, corks, swim wings, swim noodles, large and small balls, air mattresses, etc.) are thrown into the pool. At the signal, all players gather all the items. How much time is needed, or how many items can be gathered in a certain time?
Option
As before, the items are thrown into the middle of the pool. This time, 2 teams (one on each side of the pool) jump into the pool at the signal to gather the items that are brought to their side of the pool.
Variation 2: items are not to be held in the hand or thrown to the sides, but only by splashing and getting the water to move to get them to the side of the pool.
Variation 3: 10-20 big rings are thrown all over the pool and must be gathered in the shortest amount of time possible.
Judging
the fastest team wins, or the team with the most gathered objects
