The children's game of Marco Polo is a form of tag played in a swimming pool. The game is common to many different regions of the world.
The player who is "It" must swim around the pool with his or her eyes closed, attempting to tag the other players. The "It" player can only sense where the other players are by calling out "Marco!", at which point all the other players are required to yell "Polo!". By judging where the sounds are coming from, the player who is It tries to tag another player, who then becomes It.
There are other rules to this game, varying from region to region, such as fish out of water. In this variant, as the It player swims around attempting to tag the other players, he or she may yell "fish out of water". If at that time there is someone out of the pool then that player becomes "It". The player who is the "fish out of water" must be entirely out of the water, with no body part in contact with the pool water.
There is a similar game, called "blind man's bluff," that takes place on dry ground.
