By: Elmo Kandel



Swimming pools, they have become a staple of summer. Each year, millions of children and adults jump into a swimming pool, not only to cool off, but for excitement as well. If you are a pool owner, regardless of whether or not you have children, you may want to consider incorporating some fun sports games into your pool. If you are interested, this can easily be done with the purchase of a few popular pool accessories. Those pool accessories may include, but should not be limited to, basketball hoops or volley ball nets.

Poolside basketball hoops have been providing swimmers and spectators with fun for years now. Even though more modernized pool accessories have been developed, there is still just something fun about playing basketball in the water. In fact, paying basketball in the pool is so much fun that everyone is likely to enjoy it, even those that do not consider themselves to be sports fans.

What is nice about most basketball hoops, for the pool, is that they can be used on all different types of pools. For instance if you have an in-ground pool, an aboveground pool with a deck, or an aboveground pool without a deck, there should be a basketball hoop that will fit your pool. This is because some basketball hoops are able to attach on to the side of a pool, while others attach to the deck, or there are even basketball hoops that are filled with water. Unlike basketball hoops that are anchored into something, these types of hoops are easy to move.

If you are interested in purchasing a basketball hoop, for your pool, you will have to start shopping. In your search, you will likely see that basketball hoops come in a wide variety of different sizes and styles. In fact, there are so many different styles that you may find it overwhelming to choose just one. If this is the case, you are advised to consider the advantages and disadvantages of each style. This may help you pick the basketball hoop that will not only be right for your pool, but right for your needs as well.

In addition to basketball, volleyball is another popular sports game that can easily be played in the water. To play water basketball, you need to have a basketball hoop and to play water volleyball; you need a volleyball net. Unlike basketball hoops, for the pool, most volleyball nets are the same or similar. This may make purchasing this popular pool accessory easier.

When it comes to purchasing a volleyball net, you will find that most nets are able to be used in aboveground swimming pools and underground swimming pools. This is due to the fact that volleyball net arms are usually extendable. This means that if you have an aboveground pool, you will need to increase the length of the poles to reach from the ground to your pool. If you have an in-ground pool, you will often decrease the length of the poles to the smallest size. In addition to being ideal for both aboveground and in-ground pools, most volleyball nets should be easy to remove and store.

Despite the fact that basketball and volleyball are considered the most popular sports games to play in the pool, you do not have to limit yourself. By visiting your local pool supply store or by shopping online, you may be able to find other fun games that can be played in the pool. And, if not, you can also get creative and make your own. What could be more fun than that?
