[quote=Anonymous]I second the Boursin (or other cheese) and grab some nice crackers.  Perhaps sliced salami, and maybe olives.  I'd bring a nice small bowl, and a bamboo cutting board from home, and put that all on top.

You could buy pre-cut fruit and put 2-3 pieces on a skewer (this might take more than 10-15 mins though, depending on how many moms, and might be messy to make). But it would hold up well in the heat and the pool environment.

Add this to the shrimp suggestion someone else had.

You could also check in the international foods aisle--even if you're at a pretty basic grocery, you can sometimes find something a bit interesting.
Another thought--if you're near an ethnic grocery store, you might some interesting ready made items.  Thai grocery store near us has chicken satay ready to go, 
latino grocery store near us has empanadas or pan dulce.

If you have a wegman's near you--that might be my first stop. They have great prepared appetizer trays.

I think the "impressive" part of the snacks can come from presentation.  Nice plate or platter from home.

Good luck![/quote]
