>How to play Marco Polo with the kids in the pool?

Thanks for asking!  My kids taught me this game.  One person
is "it" and tries to catch one of the other children as 
follows:  He/she closes the eyes and says "Marco" and all the 
kids must reply "Polo".  Based on audio-stereoscopic perception 
"it" can locate other children close-by with the eyes shut and
try to catch them.  A child that gets caught becomes "it".

This game can also be played on land.  One extra twist in
the pool is that if a kid is pressed in a corner, he/she
can get out of the pool to escape.  But if "it" suspects
that this is the case, they can call "fish out of the water"
and if indeed a child is out of the pool then this child
becomes "it".  Another twist is that "it" can open its
eyes underwater (only case when it is allowed to open the
eyes).

Obviously this game requires good audio stereo perception.
A person with hearing from one ear only would have a 
disadvantage as "it".

That I did not do.  I did get my RBT S1 in the pool to
photograph my children in unusual angles while jumping into
the pool, but I was extra careful to avoid getting the S1
wet!
