They say this is the hottest summer on record. Who am I to argue? One thing about summer, the kids can't wait to get out of school and hit the nearest waterhole. Whether you have a pool in your backyard or spend time at the community rec, swimming is the best way to find relief on a hot summer day.

But no one says that it's the coolest way to cool off. Judging by the photos below, some people have found a way to beat the heat in style. I think it is only fair to recognize their creativity. After all, it's not easy being a "DIY Summertime Guru."

Homemade pools aren't easy to make. It takes skill and craftsmanship because the last thing you want to do is spring a leak! These cool kids on the block know how to throw a DIY Pool Party. Feast your eyes on these one-of-a-kind homemade pool designs!
