I don’t have names for these, but I used to do them in swim class some odd years ago. Start at the shallow end and while doing streamlining (freestyle or fly) try to touch the bottom, when you do head for the surface than try to touch the bottom again. The point is to try to do it as any times as you can in one lap. Then try without using your arms.

Do laps without breathing,

Or my personal favourite, the invisible waterbottle game. Get a clear, plastic waterbottle, remove any labels and fill it almost completely with water. Turn both your backs to the water and heave the bottle over your shoulder. Count to three and dive in. First one to find the waterbottle wins. The more people the better, or if you can get someone else to throw the bottle in, preferably someone sneaky who will try to hide it in a dark corner of the pool.

Be extremely careful on the diving board if your pool is only 8 feet deep, the regulation depth for a pool with a diving board is 12 feet, so be very cautious and do not hit your head on the bottom or sides of the pool… Have races with different strokes across the pool, or do workouts swimming all the way across underwater, then hop out and do push-ups or situps.
We did this one day at a pool I know, we went to petco and bought some of those feeder fish that are about 20 cents a piece and released a few of them in the pool with snorkel masks on. It was so much fun to swim with gold fish!!!
Better yet invite some friends over to play in the pool, the more the merrier when it comes to a swimming pool.
