Description

Each team has the task of collecting floating balls ("the treasures") scattered around the pool and bringing them to their "safe haven" (board or pull buoy against the wall). The balls are placed in the center of the pool.
But there's a challenge: only one member of each team can fetch a ball at a time, with the support of a material (float, board, noodle, or pull buoy) of their choice. After delivering the ball to its base, the next teammate enters.
Give them freedom to choose how they move with the material
Aim: to collect the most balls in the round.
Who has the most balls wins, or everyone wins with a final celebration together.
 
Rules:
           Only one player at a time per team
            The ball can only be carried when using one of the floating materials
            They have to change materials for each new round

Variations:
Cooperative Mode: Gather all the balls in one place.
Magic Ball: A special ball worth double points.
Underwater Mode: Collect objects while submerged.
