How to Host Pool Movie Night.

Forget the drive in - try a dive in movie night!

A hot summer night, cool water, and your favourite film on the big screen - it doesn’t get much better than that. Hosting a dive-in movie night is a fun way to bring family and friends together for an unforgettable evening. Here’s everything you need to set the scene for the ultimate backyard pool movie night.

What you’ll need...

Pool: The star of the night. Make sure your pool is ready for guests to float or swim comfortably. Fibreglass pools with built-in seating, like our Corbree, Hudson, and Flinders ranges, are perfect for movie lounging. Or what about a pool with a built-in spa for the adults, like our brand new Peninsula or Daylesford designs?

Movie Screen: An inflatable screen works well, or DIY it with a white sheet. Position it where it’s visible from both the pool and deck.

Projector: Essential for bringing the movie to life. Keep it set up safely away from the water.

Speakers: Waterproof Bluetooth speakers are ideal - they deliver great sound without the worry of splashes.

Seating: Mix it up with deck chairs, loungers, and pool floats so everyone has a comfy spot.

Snacks: No movie night is complete without them! From popcorn to BBQ, the menu sets the vibe.

Movie picks for the perfect pool night.

Choose your film based on your guests. We suggest:

Family-Friendly Favourites: The Little Mermaid, Finding Nemo, Moana, Shark Tale, Free Willy.

Action & Adventure: Pirates of the Caribbean, Aquaman, Point Break, Cast Away.

Adults-Only Thrills: Jaws, Open Water, The Abyss, Titanic, Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Snack ideas to match the mood.

Classic Cinema Treats: Popcorn, nachos, chips, and pretzels.

BBQ Feast: Fire up the grill for burgers, sausages, and summer sides.

Pizza Night: Quick, easy, and always a crowd-pleaser.

Themed Treats: Match your menu to the movie - ocean-inspired goodies for Finding Nemo or mermaid cupcakes for The Little Mermaid.

With a little planning, your backyard pool transforms into the ultimate outdoor cinema. From themed snacks to floating lounges, a dive-in movie night brings the magic of the movies and the joy of the pool together in one unforgettable experience.
