How to Make Someone Get in a Pool

Say you're having a pool party. Don't you hate those people who refuse to go in the pool? If they aren't going to go in then why did they come? This page will help you with this cumbersome problem but be sure that the person or people don't have any extreme fear of water.

Push the selected person into the pool

There are various methods of doing this.

• Try the “walk and talk” method. You can engage the victim in conversation while walking along the pool with the victim the one closet to the pool. You don’t need to push hard to ensure wetness. It is best to push the victim on the shoulder.
• If you have a pool thermometer hanging in the pool by a string, ask the victim to go check the temperature of the water. When they reach in the water for the thermometer, it puts them in a very vulnerable position. Follow them to the thermometer and to intimidate them stand directly above them and kick them with enough force (not hard enough to cause an injury) to push them into the pool. This method can also be applied by asking a person to retrieve some other floating object.

Throw the person into the pool

This requires force and at least one other person.

• • Make sure the victim is in a vulnerable position such as laying on a pool chair tanning. It is even likely that the person will have their eyes closed with sunglasses over their eyes.
  • Both you and your partners in crime will need to each grab the legs or arms of the victim, carry them, and drop them into the pool. Do this only with people that you can carry to prevent dropping them and hurting them on the usually rough, hard concrete surrounding pools. To facilitate this maneuver, set up chairs closer to the pool. If you are feeling particularly nice, you can have a large pool float floating on the side of the pool. Drop the person on it and push them gently to the middle of the pool. Unless they have superb balance, they will not be able to paddle their way to the side without falling in or getting just a little bit wet.

Take the indirect route

• Get the person wet to begin with. Your weapons of choice are getting into the pool yourself and splashing them as they pass by, using a water gun, using a hose, on any other means of soaking. Although this is less effective, the victim will be wet anyway so it would not seem so far off to them to get in the pool. A little persuasion to join you in the pool might be necessary here. They may be less resistant to your urges for them to swim in the pool, but they might resent you for it.
• Engage the victim in an activity that would make them want to get in the pool. This could vary from any kind of activity that would make them get hot and possibly sweaty and desire to be enveloped in the cool, refreshing water of the pool to in any way becoming sticky or dirty. Don’t make any nearby showers available for use to get the victim to focus on the pool unless the victim has become overly dirty and you do not desire for them to contaminate your pool.

Tips

• Always know when to apply these methods. Just use common sense. Ensure that the possible “victim” knows you well enough and can handle a joke with a light hearted, non-resentful manner.

Warnings

• Do not push a girl into the pool who is going through her menstrual cycle. She will not appreciate this. Consult her first to see if this is the reason she is not going into the pool. She might be embarrassed and lie though.
• Don’t push the victim into water that is too shallow that they might hurt themselves when falling in, nor in very deep water if they lack decent swimming skills. Of course, if the person cannot swim, it would not be a good idea to try and force them into the pool.
• Never push a girl/woman into a pool when they are wearing nice clothes, or white cotton. This could result in the destroying of clothes, and see-throughness of the shirt.
• Do not push someone into a pool when they are holding something valuable, or non-waterproof. For example, a cell phone, money, an infant, or important documents.
• Do not push you mom in when she is in a happy mood as she will go mental with you for the rest of the day
