The group pull off a number of 'relay dunks', where they toss the ball between them as they each plunge into the pool.

They even introduce props like baseball bats, hoops, and deck chairs while executing their trick shots.

Hunter and friends filmed their four-minute 'pool dunks' compilation in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, on July 11.

Their stunt shots aren't all perfect though - a 'bloopers' section at the end of their online video shows the many occasions where they got tricks wrong.
