Throw a Backyard Poolside Halloween Boo Bash to Celebrate in Style

It’s that time of year again, and although you may be contemplating your attire for the much-anticipated Halloween party, your swimming pool can also get in on the spooktacular fun. During this spookily festive season, prepare to add some imagination to your backyard oasis.

Despite it seeming a little strange to host a pool party in October, you can still have a party by the pool depending on where you live (and whether your pool is heated). Even if the weather isn’t perfect for swimming, you can still throw a great backyard party and make your swimming pool the talk of the neighborhood. There is no reason your backyard pool cannot serve as the ideal background for a spook-tacularly fun event with your family and friends, whether swimming is doable at this time of year or not. This is just one of many ways to utilize your inground backyard fiberglass Leisure Pools® swimming pool, no matter the time of year.

Now that your pool is stylishly decorated, it’s time to have some fun. Here are some suggestions to get the celebration going:

• First, create a carving station for pumpkins. Allow your visitors to explore their creative sides and see what spooky fun creations they can create with kid-friendly carving tools and even some stencils. You may hold a contest and ask your visitors to choose the best pumpkin. To further enhance the Halloween theme of the pool, display the pumpkins all around it.
• Second, have a costume contest for Halloween. Prizes should be given out for the spookiest, funniest, coolest, and most creative costumes.
• Finally, plan a treasure hunt. Put some party-themed objects into the pool if it’s still open. Using glow sticks will be helpful when searching for sunken treasure. Additionally, you can hide objects around the pool area for party guests to uncover.

If swimming is an option at this time, make sure your pool is well-lit and secure to protect the safety of your visitors. Have a few responsible adults on hand who aren’t afraid to keep a close check on anyone who might enter the pool or hang out by the edge of the water. Have warm towels available for your visitors in case they get a bit chilly.

Once you’ve cranked up all the eerie charms, it’s time to invite your pals over for a Halloween Boo Bash filled with fun! Even in October, you can still find fun and creative ways to enjoy your inground backyard fiberglass swimming pool. Hosting a fun-filled gathering by the water will create some incredible memories that will last a lifetime, whether you spend time in or around the pool. Use your imagination and enjoy the results.
