Is a pool birthday party too young for an 11 year old girl?

A few years ago, DD had a big pool party at a local pool, with inflatables etc. She’s turning 11 this year and has said that she might like to do this again. We did a big sleepover last year.

The girls in her year are on the cusp of becoming proper pre-teens. They are all trying hard to be cool. DD is still a bit innocent and doesn’t yet have much sense of what the others all want to wear or have - which is great, of course. I obviously don’t want DD to grow up too soon but I also don’t want her to be actively left behind or be hurt if they decide that she’s too young for them. Would your Y6 girls think that a pool party was a bit young for them? I could probably steer her towards another sleepover quite easily if that would be make life easier for her socially.

Sounds fun and they might enjoy something like this for a change.
