I think it is time for a new pool toy. People frequently skip
stones on the beach, so why not the length of the pool?
These could be improved, with optimized surface form and
mass to produce the most skips, and perhaps the furthest
skips with a slightly puffy toroidal Aerobie (ultra frisbee).
Another
option could be an ice cube tray formed in the shape
of optimal skipping stones.

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye ... |

I like this. They could be heavy like those bounce on water balls and with an interlocking Styrofoam brick wall to knock down you could play dam-busters. |
|

I wonder if a puffy aerobic would fly. The physics of
flying discs is baffling to me. Clearly the same
principles cannot be at work in a frisbee vs an
aerobie. Vs one of the flying cutout coke cans! Lets
see if I can find a link for that last one... |

Not with styrofoam bricks, they'd float. The Upkeep bouncing
mine works by hydrostatic shock; the target has to be
submerged. |

You would need to put nets across the pool at intervals to
replicate the anti-torpedo nets in the Ruhr dams, and the
objective would be to place your projectile as close as possible to
the base of the wall. |

[+] very much the ice cube derivation. |

Skipping Grenades, for when they try to attack you over
water. This is clearly an essential item to bring to all
swimming pools in America. |

They're not toroidal but Aqua Skimmer toys are Baked.

Sometimes having an idea already baked feels like
vindication, other times it is just harumph! |

A stone is a bit of a scale/form factor difference to a converted Frisbee. Get an A.I. onto designing the form, there might be surprises. |

I'll have an ouzo with two of the new skimmers please. |

You must be a young adult or college student. |

Why thank you, but don't I wish. |
