Idea Fair
Foam Cannon
How has this idea enhanced your club's operation, etc.?
Our team was looking to build on activities at the pool in both special events but something we could even utilize as a pop-up event. Our answer was purchasing an enormous foam canon that shoots gallons of foam per minute that is both safe for the kids and the environment.
How was this idea implemented, and what have been the club members' reactions?
The foam cannon turned out to be an overwhelming success. We were able to utilize it at the major poolside holidays, we had 3 pop – up foam parties, it was a massive hit at Teen Night, and was a great surprise for the kids at their last swim practice. A solution was purchased that would allow the foam to glow in the dark which allowed for an entire event on its own. We walled off our covered gazebo, installed black lights and the kids partied in the illuminated foam for almost 2 hours.
