Marco Polo

Marco Polo is a swimming pool game similar to tag, in which one player designated "it" closes their eyes and tries to tag other swimmers by calling out "Marco," to which the other players must respond "Polo," using sound alone to locate them. It's a popular casual pool activity for children and families in summer, testing listening skills and stealth as players try to avoid detection while staying in the water. The name references the historical explorer Marco Polo, though the game itself has no real connection to him.
