FAQs

What is Squire?

Squire is a new pool game for people who love cornhole. It's made for above-ground and inground pools.

How do you play?

You skip discs at the target to score points. Hit the target, get 1 point. Stick the disc in the Goalie Hole, get 3 points. First to 21 points wins! We also invented other fun versions you can try. Check out our Set Up & Play page for more info.

What comes in the box?

Depends on which set you buy. Above-ground / 1 side: 1 target and 6 discs. Above-ground / full set: 2 targets and 6 discs. Inground / 1 side: 2 targets and 6 discs. Inground / full set: 4 targets and 8 discs.

What else can the game be used for?

The blue foam targets are floating drink holders, too!

Is it really like cornhole?

Yes! The only difference is you're in water and points don't cancel each other out. We like to say "It's like bags but wetter!"

Does Squire work with above-ground pools?

Yes! The target is held in place under your pool's ledge and the foam target's natural buoyancy. It's science...

How does it work for inground pools?

Unlike above-ground pools, the targets rest on the ledge of your pool. A well-placed tumbler filled with your favorite drink holds it in place nicely if needed.

Do you need tools to install Squire?

No! No tools or adhesive needed. Go to our Set Up & Play page for more info.

How long does it last?

A long time. Unlike most pool toys, Squire will last season after season. The foam is extremely durable, as well as the discs. We've been playing with the same set for years!

How many people can play?

Up to 4 people can play. You can also just play by yourself. It's fun and relaxing!

Why should I get Squire?

Unlike other pool games, everyone can play. It turns a boring pool party into a fun time for all! We guarantee people will be lining up to Splash, Skip & Score!

Living the Squire Life

Borisz, Sam & Tim

The idea for Squire came to us one Sunday Funday while floating around in Tim's 21' round. We were bored and needed something to do, so Sam grabbed a floating drink holder, stuck it under the rail and challenged Borisz to skip a toy disc at it.

A couple hours later, we had rules for an amazing swimming pool game for kids and adults and a handful of neighbors who wanted in.

Our Squire Life began...

Squire Life

Why do we call it Squire?

While we were playing that day, the disc occasionally skipped out of the pool. We got tired of getting out, so we created a rule: the team that wants to play next has to grab the discs that end up in the grass.

We're not exactly sure when we started calling them squires but they were helping us out like a squire helps a knight and it just felt right.

The disc would skip out and we'd yell 'Squire!' at the top of our lungs in our worst English accent and it was game on.

Our backstory

The Squire Life

As we continued to develop Squire, it occurred to us, as pool owners, that the "helping others" philosophy didn’t just apply to the game. It applied to what it means to own a pool. We help each other when opening for the summer, closing for winter, balancing chemicals, troubleshooting that weird rattling noise, pretty much anything.

Squire is a game. But it's also a community. It’s a badge of honor. It's a way of life.

So to all those pool owners out there, all those Squires... Splash. Skip. Score. And Squire on.

Living the Squire Life is about more than just skipping discs. It's about helping your fellow pool owners whenever they need it. Squire started as a game but became so much more.
