Do you not know the (swimming) pool game of Marco Polo?

[Kamog]

No, I thought Marco Polo was an explorer who travelled to China. Don't know about the swimming pool game.

You guys up in the great white north sure are deprived! One person is "it." He must keep his eyes closed. He goes underwater and counts to 10 or 20, then surfaces. Every time he says "Marco," all other players must say "Polo" (assuming they are above water and can hear the person that is it). When he tags someone, that person becomes it and the process starts over. Also, you are not allowed to get out of the water. The person that is it may call "fish out of water" if he suspects that someone is out of the pool. If someone is out of the pool when he calls this, that person is automatically it and the process starts over.

I'm familiar with the game. So not all of us are deprived.

Who reads it too much?. The guy who can guess what it is, or the guy who knew which one to post concerning the subject .

That's a wussy game for people who suck at hunting.

We play "shark", where the person who is "it" tries to catch the others... the shark has to get a 2-second hold too. But you don't have to say anything. Stealth is good. Splashing a bit of water to make noise away from yourself or towards the other "fish" helps keep you alive too.

Note:
For a faster-paced game, the shark is allowed to open their eyes underwater only. The fish then use bubbles for chaff.
Note2: Goggles are total cheating. Without goggles, you can't focus in water, so the shark can only see vague outlines a couple meters away.

Its quite fun in a round pool, where you can make either a whirlpool by running around the edge before you play, or set up a big harmonic wave.
A good harmonic wave in a 4-meter diameter pool can make a cool 1-meter high spike of water in the center.

LOL. I would hardly call hunting a sport now in Canada... well bow hunting any ways is still a sport.
