Do Americans really do pool party a lot? I saw it many times in movie, but curious if Americans really do it.

Pool parties are common and popular, especially in the summer, but not in the way that movies portray them. Most movies make pool parties seem like a huge party with hundreds of people. Most pool parties are small get-togethers with close friends and family. I am an American and I have never been to a large pool party. The largest pool party I have ever been to had 4 people.
