A kit comprising at least 2 devices adapted to be easily attached by way of suction to one or more sides or a bottom of a swimming pool, each of the devices having a grab member adapted to be grabbed by a hand of a child player or an adult player, the devices adapted to be easily attached to a side or bottom of the pool. A game can be played with the devices after they are attached at separate points such that a player may grab a first device with one hand and then a second device with another hand, moving along said side or said bottom while remaining under water. The device comprises a housing having an upper grab member having a height, diameter, cross-section, shape, and surface configured to be grabbed by a hand of a child or an adult, an actuator member configured to move up and down within the upper grab member, a spring member within the upper grab member arranged and adapted to urge the actuator member in an upward direction, and a flexible disk shaped member adapted to engage a swimming pool side or bottom by suction. The device is waterproof and is designed to be engaged by suction by pressing a release button while the flexible disk shaped member is pressed against an underwater pool surface
A device comprising a housing having (A) an upper grab member having a height, diameter, cross-section, shape, and surface configured to be grabbed by a hand of a child or an adult, (B) an actuator member at least partially enclosed within the upper grab member (A), configured to move up and down within the upper grab member (A), (C) a spring member within the upper grab member (A) arranged and adapted to urge the actuator member (B) in an upward direction, (D) a lower portion, (E) a flexible disk shaped member within the lower portion (D), the flexible disk shaped member (E) secured along its circumference to the lower portion (D), the center of the flexible disk shaped member (E) engaged with the actuator member (B), (F) a lock member configured to lock the actuator member (B) in a down position against the resistance of the spring member (C), (G) a release member arranged to move the lock member (F) and release the actuator member (B), allowing the actuator member (13) and the center of the flexible disk shaped member (E) engaged with the actuator member (B) to move in an upward direction, the device adapted to cause the flexible disk member (E) to engage a flat surface of swimming pool by suction when the lock member (F) is released and the actuator member (B) is urged in an upward direction by spring member (C).
