Here is a nice idea: Fill up your bathtub, turn on the shower, bring a few drinks and invite your friends to a bathroom party. The rest will be automatic. Before you know it everyone will be soaking wet.

Bring lots and lots of kiddie pools of all shapes and sizes and have a super pool party. In this is in case you do not need a swimming pool or beach near your home. Gather a whole bunch of children's plastic wading pools or plastic tubs and lay them out in a pattern together. Fill them up with water. Friends can then play various games in these pools together, including throwing sponges at one another or having water fights. This water play is safe! Jump fully clothed into a pool with your friends.

Just finished playing The Pool Game with two 20-year old studs. The game goes like this, I sink $5, $10 and $20 bills in the pool. They have to arrive fully dressed. Each gets to jump in and retrieve one bill per dive. Maximum time per jump into the pool is 60 seconds. As soon as one grabs a bill, he has to come out and the other gets his turn.

Mark was dressed in Levi 501's, Timberland work boots, tank top and sweat shirt. Bobby was dressed in a red plum Armani suit with matching shirt and tie. His shoes were brown leather loafers. He works in an upscale clothing store and had just gotten off work when Mark picked him up. Rules of the game say they have to go in "as is". Mark made 3 dives and Bobby made 4. Bobby hit the jackpot, he found the "Bonus" bill and that doubled his take.

Foam parties are becoming really popular at many clubs. A foam party is exactly what it sounds like. You're dancing and foam shoots down at you from above. Everyone gets wet and excited whilst being doused with foam. Sometimes the foam smells like piña colada, it gets up to your neck and soaks you right through. Sounds like a kick? It's a blast... try it!!

You step onto the dance floor which it's covered with four feet of soap foam. The foam machine blows foam over a bobbing dance crowd sometimes packed so tight that you can't fall over. Enjoy the foamy body rubbing with other wet fans. It doesn't take too much imagination to see that this has the potential to be quite a bit of fun.

It always gets very wet at foam parties. About half the water used for the foam ends up in the clothes of the people, who amuse themselves in the foam. Only a few minutes in the foam are enough to get you soaked to the skin. Tip: don't go wearing your best clothes because they can get trashed in a big way. Some sportswear that clings nicely to your body when wet might be more fun.

So what is the appeal of Foam Parties? Folks like us enjoy their favourite hobby in a large group, meet others and look at all those soaking wet people dancing in the moist heat. Add to that the sensual feeling of your wet clothes and you've got the idea.

The foam party craze started outdoors on the beaches of Ibiza. Then it came to the clubs and discos of Europe and later to America.

Marc from Belgium reports:

Recently I had to fill up a swimming pool with foam for a game. The participants of the games were 18-20 year teens. But before the games started and while I was filling the pool, a team of young boys just finished their soccer party and came to look the foampit.

Unfortunetly their parents forbade them to jump into the foam, because of their nice and clean soccer kit, white cotton shorts and red shirts. The parents left the area and went for a drink to the bar, but the boys had to wait outside.

Of course I said to them: "Your parents enjoy themselves in the bar, and you can only look at the foampit. This is not fair! So, you should go in and get wet!" After a bit hesitation, they all jumped in, and wallowed in the foam and on the pool bottom which was covered with water. After ten minutes their smart kits were soaking wet !

When the parents came out of the bar, they could only establish the damage, and in spite of the reproaches of their parents, the kids looked gratefull to me!
