Diving Well Challenge - Swimming Game

Swimming Games

Name

Diving Well SL Challenge

Core Skill

Streamline and underwater propulsion

Who

Swimmers who can streamline and push off the wall confidently. Best for intermediate to advanced levels.

What

Line all swimmers up on one wall, close to each other. Must streamline only from one wall to the other. If you touch anyone else you're both out. If you do anything but streamline, you're out.

How

As rounds progress, add more challenges:

  1. No touching
  2. Only Streamline
  3. Must flip after pushing off wall
  4. Must do a second flip before touching other wall
  5. Must do Airplane the whole time (not streamline)
  6. Race whoever gets there first wins

As people fail and get out, send them to an unused side. Wait there until there is one winner.

Difficulties Instructors Might Face

Swimmers may struggle with maintaining a tight streamline while avoiding others. Ensure the pool is deep enough for safe underwater travel. Watch for swimmers who panic or surface early—remind them to stay calm and exhale slowly. Adjust the distance or add more challenges based on skill level.
