Summer is the perfect time to make a splash in your backyard. Whether you're lounging by the pool, playing games, or enjoying a relaxing soak in a hot tub, creating lasting memories with family and friends is easy when you have the right setup. Here’s how to make the most of your Intex inflatable pool and add some extra relaxation with an Intex PureSpa or a Summer Waves pool.
1. Family Pool Games
One of the best ways to enjoy your Intex inflatable pool is by turning it into a place for family fun. You can start with classic pool games like Marco Polo, pool volleyball, or splash races. Pool noodles are perfect for noodle jousting, where everyone takes turns trying to knock their opponent off their float.
If you have younger kids, consider playing simple games like water tag or tossing a beach ball around. It’s an easy way to keep everyone active while cooling off in the water.
2. Host a Themed Pool Party
Add some excitement to your pool day by hosting a themed party. You could go for a “Pirates of the Caribbean” or “Mermaids and Ocean” theme. Decorate with pool floats, and provide themed snacks like fish-shaped cookies or cupcakes decorated with sea creatures. This is a fun way to make any pool day feel special.
To keep the party vibe going, play some lively music from a waterproof Bluetooth speaker and serve cold, refreshing drinks or ice cream floats. Your backyard will feel like a mini tropical island!
3. Relax in Your Intex PureSpa
After a day full of pool games, why not unwind in a PureSpa? This portable hot tub offers a spa experience with soothing bubble jets and adjustable temperatures, perfect for relaxing after hours of play. The Intex PureSpa can be set up right next to your inflatable pool, creating a space for adults to enjoy some downtime while the kids continue playing in the water.
The best part? The PureSpa is easy to set up, affordable, and provides the relaxation of a traditional hot tub without the hefty price tag or long-term commitment.
4. Transform Your Backyard into an Outdoor Movie Theater
Take your Intex inflatable pool to the next level by hosting an outdoor movie night. Set up a projector near the pool and watch family-friendly films while floating in the water. If you’d rather stay dry, set up comfy lounge chairs around the pool for a more traditional movie theater experience.
For the ultimate backyard cinema, serve popcorn, candy, and poolside snacks like fresh fruit or nachos. It’s a great way to enjoy both water activities and entertainment.
5. Stargazing from the Pool
When the sun goes down, your pool fun doesn’t have to end. Turn your Intex inflatable pool into the perfect stargazing spot by adding floating LED lights or lanterns around the edge. You and your family can float under the stars and enjoy a peaceful night. If you have a telescope, try spotting constellations together.
The relaxed vibe makes it the ideal way to wind down after an afternoon of swimming and games.
6. Use a Summer Waves Pool for Extra Space
If you want to expand your pool setup, consider adding a Summer Waves pool to your backyard. These above-ground pools come in a variety of sizes and styles, from inflatable models to sturdy frame pools. A Summer Waves pool is perfect if you’re hosting a larger group or want more room to swim.
The easy setup and affordable price of Summer Waves pools make them a great option for families. Combine a Summer Waves pool with your Intex inflatable pool for a spacious, fun-filled water experience. Kids can play in the Summer Waves pool while adults enjoy some quiet relaxation in the Intex inflatable pool or the PureSpa.
7. Host a Poolside BBQ
No pool day is complete without food! Set up a grill nearby and serve up some poolside favorites like burgers, hot dogs, and grilled vegetables. You can also make some delicious salads or prepare fresh fruit to keep everyone energized. For something extra fun, try making a DIY sandwich bar or taco station so everyone can customize their meals.
A BBQ is the perfect way to enjoy a meal while soaking up the sun and enjoying your time by the pool.
8. Create a Poolside Art Station
For a more creative approach, set up a poolside art station where kids can draw or paint while taking breaks from the water. Use chalk to create colorful designs on the pavement or bring out some waterproof markers for designing pool floats or towels. It’s a fun way to keep kids entertained and let them explore their artistic side.
Final Words
Making the most of your Intex inflatable pool is all about enjoying quality time with your family. Whether you’re playing games, hosting a themed party, or relaxing in an Intex PureSpa, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. You can even expand your backyard water experience with a Summer Waves pool, which adds extra space for swimming and fun. With these simple ideas, you can turn your backyard into the ultimate family fun zone this summer.
