I set up a mini-water park in the backyard. It is convenient, since 1/2 of the week we are stuck at the house without a car. The other reason it works out for us is because we live 15 miles from the nearest pool. When you consider gas & admission, it is so much cheaper to swim at home!!! Please, we don't have to fight the crowd!!
Around 1PM or 2PM is when we get in. I turn the air up, and we go outside for an hour in the cool water. By the time we come back into the house, the house feels cooler, even though we are using LESS air conditioning. I am hot natured, so I keep the house at 74 or 75 degrees. When we go outside to the pool, I turn the air up to 78 degrees and don't turn it back down until later in the day (so I can sleep through the night).
As you can see, the girls LOVE the mini-water park, and they are becoming more confident in the water.

I'm just glad to see they have their water wings on! Safety first, right? Too cute.
We used to do that in our back yard. :) Looks fun!
