If you couldn't be at Footprint Center for the WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday, why not watch it in the pool?

Togethxr, the media company started by retired WNBA legend Sue Bird, hosted two days of events at Lylo Swim Club on Friday and Saturday, culminating in a pool-set watch party for the big event Saturday night. At the bar, in a deck chair or floating in the water itself, there was no more relaxing place to watch Team WNBA take on Team USA in Phoenix.

Phoenix New Times was there, and as these photos show, the party was bouncing.

A huge sign greeted visitors to let them know that, yep, they were in the right place.

The high in Phoenix on Saturday was 111 degrees, and plenty were happy to jump in the pool to beat the heat.
