What is your dream swimming pool?

Everyone has dreamt about what their dream swimming pool would look like. Maybe your swimming pool might have a waterslide, maybe even two or a waterfall that is so high you can jump off the top. You could also have a swim up bar so you never have to leave the pool to have a drink. My favourite of these insane residential pools are 3, 4 and 7. I love the sunk in spa and who doesn’t want to have that amazing view from their pool. Check out these 7 amazing residential pools and tell me which one if your favourite.

Check out these three summer poolside treats!

1. This easy and simple treat will have you back by the pool in no time. Watermelon and Raspberry are the only ingredients you need. Two Ingredients and two steps:

• Blend ingredients in a blender until completely smooth 
• Pour smoothie mixture into popsicle molds. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze until completely solid (about three hours). 

Pour, freeze, and enjoy. This is a simple, easy and refreshing treat. Now its time to sit by the pool and enjoy.

2. Chips and Guac is a classic summer treat to have out by the pool. All you need to make this delicious snack is avocados, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Place all the ingredients in a large bowl, combine them and mash well. Serve with the tortilla chips.

3. CHARCUTERIE BOARD!! This is a fun way to enjoy snacks by the pool. All you need is a board and an assortment of food you and your friends love. It’s that simple.

Let us know which one is your favourite to have by the pool.

August long weekend is just around the corner. Are you planning on being pool side? If so you should invite over all your friends over to enjoy the pool with you. If you’re worried about hosting a pool party in such short notice. Don’t worry Crush has you covered. Here are some things that you should have to host the perfect pool party.

• Let’s make sure the pool is clean and the heater is on! Crush personal thinks that 86 is the perfect temperature. You can be the judge

• Food & Snacks – To make it easier for you ask your guest to bring some food and snack as well

• Music/Speakers – If you have Spotify you can play the “chill hits” playlist thats a good summer playlist.

• Drinks (Plastic!! No glass by the pool) – Make sure you buy some red solo cups just incase your guest bring some glass bottles.

• Cooler – If you don’t have one don’t panic you can make a cooler out of anything a canoe or even a wheelbarrow. Grab some ice from the store and fill up whatever you have. You just want the drink to stay cold throughout the party.

• Games (inside the pool and out) – You want to make sure your guest are entertained if they are in the pool or if they are in the backyard. If you don’t have any games you can always ask your guest to bring some of their favourite ones.

• Water & Sunscreen Station – We want to make sure that everyone stays hydrated and not burnt. No one wants to end up looking like a lobster

• Floaties – You must have them for the pool party so your guest can just relax and enjoy the pool

• Towels – Your guest might forget them so its best you’re prepared just incase they do forget

• Finally Decorations! Make the whole backyard and pool look beautiful. Balloons make everything look better!

Now that you have read the list of things we think you should have for your August long pool party you are all ready. So invite those guests, turn the heat up on the pool and get ready to have a great long weekend! If your party ends up going into the night you should have some blankets, lights and firewood just incase. Let us know how it turns out!

When summer is here everyone loves to be outside enjoying the weather. It’s morning coffee by the pool, dining outside, pool parties etc. Why not enjoy a movie night while floating in the pool? Here is a list of things you will need to make this movie night happen!

1. Projector (you can rent one if you don’t have one)

2. Projector Screen + Stand (you can rent, buy one or make one from a bed sheet)

3. Pool Floaty

4. Snacks and Drinks

5. Pick a Movie – Here are some ideas

Now grab your snacks, drinks and get into your pool floaty as the movie is about to start!

Hi Everyone! Ally here – while the boys may be experts in the pool industry I excel in all aspects when it comes to party planning – especially a swimming pool party. Which is why I’m here today to give you my top 5 tips on how to throw the most epic swimming pool party.

Grab your pens, get comfortable in your floatie and listen up – you don’t want to miss these!

1. SNACKS – yes okay we all know we should wait at least 30 minutes after we eat to swim… but a party without snacks is not a party. Trust me your guests will get hangry and leave early so make sure you stock up on the entire chip aisle of your local grocery store (…and while your at it make sure you’ve got some cold beers to).
2. FLOATIES FLOATIES FLOATIES – did I say FLOATIES? If you want your #poolpartyhashtag to go viral you better get some sick floats for everyone to pose with for Instagram. Some fan favs are the swan, pizza, swan/unicorn and of course the donut.
3. 85 DEGREES (MINIMUM) – If your guests wanted to swim in cold water they’d go to the lake. No one likes a cold pool – so make sure you turn your heater on a day before.
4. MUSIC – Luckily this one is pretty easy. Spotify has an awesome range of pool party/summer playlist. Pick whatever one you want and let it shuffle all day. Some personal favourites of mine are – Happy Summer Beats, Good Vibes and Soak Up the Sun.
5. GAMES – Don’t expect your guests to have fun just swimming laps or floating around. Have at least 3 -4 games ready to go! For kids – Marco Polo, diving for treasure and the classic colours are always great choices. If your hosting some young adults – there are floating beer pong tables (a personal fav)……. Marco Polo, diving for treasure and the classic colours
