Pool Coloring Pages

Cannonball! Our free pool coloring pages are full of splashes: kids jumping off the edge, a line at the diving board, a giant unicorn float, goggles and flippers and a backyard pool party. They're a fun way to cool down after swimming, to calm nerves before a first lesson or to hand out at a party when everyone needs a break from the sun.

Pool designs you can print

  • Swimming pools: a backyard pool with a ladder and a community pool with lane ropes
  • Floats and toys: ring floats, animal-shaped floats, pool noodles and beach balls
  • Swim gear: goggles, flippers, kickboards and towels
  • Jumps and dives: cannonballs and a careful dive from the board
  • Water slides and splash pads: twisting slides and spray fountains
  • Swim lessons and teams: blowing bubbles, kicking with a board and racing in lanes
  • Pool party: snacks, sunglasses and a lifeguard on watch

Pool safety rules worth repeating

Coloring time is a low-key moment to go over the rules. Walk, don't run, on the wet deck. Never swim without an adult watching, and always ask before getting in. Jump or dive only where the water is deep enough and a sign says it's allowed. Take turns on the slide and wait for the person ahead to move away. Wear sunscreen and put more on after swimming. Young or new swimmers should stay within arm's reach of a grown-up, and a properly fitted life jacket is better than inflatable toys for keeping them afloat.

Ways to use pool coloring pages

  • Pool party break: set up a shaded table with pages and crayons for the rest time after eating.
  • Before the first swim lesson: color a lesson page together and talk through what will happen.
  • Rules poster: have kids color a pool scene and write one rule in their own words underneath.
  • Swim team send-off: color a good luck page for a teammate before a meet.
  • Thunder delay: when a storm closes the pool, pull out the pages until it reopens.
