Aquatic Skills

This game teaches aquatic agility and builds team spirit and co-operation. Move to chest deep water. Keep clear of the poolside so when you fall back in, you don't hit the edge.

Game 1: Single Column

This is a good start. A strong player takes a second player on his shoulders. Then a third light weight player climbs up to the top. This requires fairly good balance. In the end they all fall back into the water.

Game 2: Rings of People

Three or more players form a ring shaped base. Then the same number of players climb onto their shoulders and form the second ring.

Game 3: Tower of Five

Two players stand facing each other. Two more players climb on their shoulders and hold on to each other to give the whole project some stability. Once they are in place the last player climbs as high as possible and smiles for the photographer.

Game 3:
Tower of Five.
