To beat any of the pool levels, the player needs to use [[Lily Pad]] (unless they are going for the [[Pool's Closed]] achievement). The pool offers a lot of new, useful plants as well. Use [[Torchwood]] to help make your peas deal more damages. Use [[Tall-nut]] to stop [[Zombies (Plants vs. Zombies)|zombies]] dead in their tracks. Use [[Tangle Kelp]] for the [[Snorkel Zombie]]. You can also put a [[Squash]] or a [[Wall-nut]] on a [[Lily Pad]], also cheap. Use [[Jalapeno]] or [[Spikeweed]] to kill [[Zomboni]]. Dolphin Rider Zombies are very tedious but they can be killed with a Tangle Kelp or a Tall-nut. For more pool strategies, see [[Adventure Mode/Strategy Guide|here]].

[[Category:{{{game}}}]] The Pool is the third area and the stage of the third set of ten levels in Adventure Mode. It is the backyard of the house in which the player lives, but unlike the front lawn (where the day and night stages take place) there are six rows instead of five. It might be this way because if there would be one water lane instead of two Garlics wouldn't work on Lily Pads. The middle two rows are the pool. Before the player buys pool cleaners, lawn mowers in the pool rows will kill only the first zombie that steps out of the water, and then splash into the pool. During the final wave in any pool level, Ducky Tube Zombies of regular, conehead and Buckethead Zombies will surface from a four by two rectangle at the far right of the pool with or without seaweed on their heads.thumb|300px|right|The music of the pool stage (called Watery Grave)

On the back side of the backyard, there are different types of ladders placed on the fence so the zombies can enter.

New plants

Because of the watery aspect of this area, some new plants and zombies are encountered. On the defensive side, the Lily Pad was added so non-aquatic plants can be planted in the water. Also, Squashes, Threepeaters, Tangle Kelps, Jalapenos, Spikeweeds, Torchwoods, and Tall-nuts are unlocked.

Strategies

To beat any of the pool levels, the player needs to use Lily Pad (unless they are going for the Pool's Closed achievement). The pool offers a lot of new, useful plants as well. Use Torchwood to help make your peas deal more damages. Use Tall-nut to stop zombies dead in their tracks. Use Tangle Kelp for the Snorkel Zombie. You can also put a Squash or a Wall-nut on a Lily Pad, also cheap. Use Jalapeno or Spikeweed to kill Zomboni. Dolphin Rider Zombies are very tedious but they can be killed with a Tangle Kelp or a Tall-nut. For more pool strategies, see here.

Trivia

  • In the new iOS version, the player will receive the bacon at level 3-4 instead of the car keys because they already had the keys in 2-2 for the Bonus Games.
  • Dancing Zombies will only be able to summon three Backup Dancers, as a fourth would be impossible to summon inside the Pool.
  • It is unknown how Vehicle Zombies are able to go up the ladders on the fence and onto the player's backyard.
    • In the Xbox Live Arcade version, there are no ladders leading to the Pool area, but instead, the zombies destroy the fence.
  • If a Ducky Tube Zombie is killed before it enters the pool, it will fall onto the surface of the pool just as a normal zombie will do on the lawn.
    • At this point, it loses its Ducky Tube.
  • The pool music is remixed for the music video Zombies on Your Lawn.
    3 In 1

    The three Pool ambush zombies together. Note the seaweed.

  • If a Balloon Zombie is shot down by a Cactus or Cattail above the Pool, the zombie will simply disappear, as it has no Ducky Tube Zombie to stay afloat.
  • If the Ice-shroom was timed right when the final flag of a level starts, the ambush zombies won't surface.
  • If the player tries to plant a non-aquatic plant in the water without a Lily Pad, a message will come up, saying: "Plant a Lily Pad first".
