How to play:

Members of each team line up on the edge of the pool opposite a hoop. The aim is to throw the kickboards so that they land within the hoop; each player uses all three kickboards and scores one point for each successful throw. When number 1 has thrown each board, that player enters the water, retrieves the boards and returns them to number 2, an so on until all team members have had a turn. The team with the highest score wins.

A tethered hoop and three kickboards for each team.
