Feel the force of the water
with this fun pool game!
What You Will Need:
A swimming pool, of course!
4 or more swimmers
What You Do:
Have all swimmers line up single-file along the edge of the pool, or in a circle in the pool. Make sure to have very little space in between each swimmer.
Everyone walks for a couple of minutes along the edge of the pool or in a circle to start the whirlpool.
Once a whirlpool is beginning to form, have each swimmer jog in a circle for a few more minutes this really gets the whirlpool going!
Finally, have everyone "run" around the edge or in a circle for a couple of minutes. Your whirlpool should be going around strong now and it will "carry" you around the pool.
When everyone has had a chance to feel the water carry them, have all the swimmers turn around and try to walk the other way. It is almost impossible to go against the current a lesson in the force of water!
