Pool Party Conversation Ideas

A pool themed party is an opportunity to catch up with friends and family and meet new people as well. It is a relaxing environment where many conversations can be had. At this type of party, there are many subjects that can be talked about unlike an office party where some topics might be frowned upon.

When a pool party is happening, there is a good chance that a barbeque is taking place as well. This is a great opportunity for guys to get together over the grill and exchange their stories while the others are splashing around in the water.

For those times when conversation might be a little light, try an icebreaker. This could be an activity or information. One of the easiest icebreakers around includes fun facts about a theme – or trivia. For a pool party, facts can be about water, swimsuits, chlorine, rafts, beach balls and much more. Isolate a topic in the pool party theme and talk about it. A host will grab their guest’s attention and give them something to talk about, debate or even question.

A fun fact about pools is that President Gerald Ford had a swimming pool installed at the White House because he was an avid swimmer. Another fun and unexpected fact is that President Andrew Jackson liked to swim naked in the Potomac River!

Guests probably would not know that swimming pools did not become popular until after World War II and the largest swimming pool, for a world record, is the San Alfonso Del Mar Seawater pool in Algarrobo, Chile which is 3324 feet long and has an area of over 19 acres!
