Pools are a good place to start a conversation — people are relaxed, standing around between lengths, and nobody is in a hurry. This is our list of pool pick up lines, ranked by reader votes, covering the deep end, lane swimming, diving boards and lounging by the side. They work at the local baths, on holiday, and at anyone's pool party. Expect jokes about making a splash and getting in deep. Keep them brief — pool acoustics are terrible and nobody wants a long joke shouted across the water.
