How to Play
In a pool, choose one person to play it (Marco). The rest of the group must try not to be tagged. "Marco" must keep his/her eyes closed, while swimming/dog paddling around the pool, trying to tag anyone. Similar to echo-location, as used by dolphins to find each other, "Marco" may shout "Marco!" at anytime, and the rest of the participants must reply (audibly), "Polo!" The first person to be tagged becomes the new Marco, and the game continues.
Strategy
The participants will often try to whisper or murmur, "Polo." The rule is, there must be a reasonable chance for Marco to have heard it.
Participants will often shout "Polo," and quickly launch themselves in another direction.
