Each lane chooses a column then an activity inside the column. Do that activity for the amount of points.

Team with the most points at the end wins.

Cannot do the same column two times in a row.

Can only do each activity 1 time. No repeating the same thing over and over.

Take turns who chooses what to do. Send one rep to the board to make a choice and then they go back and explain to the lane.

Q of the Day Answer: Mountain Pose!

Challenge: Lay flat underwater like Goldielocks

Float on your side, like you’re laying down on your side reading a bookexactly in the middle of the water from the surface and from the bottom.

Like Goldielocks, not too deep, not too shallow. Perfectly in the middle.

Challenge – Back on the bottom, 2 feet on the wall

Lay down on the bottom of the pool with your back, shoulders and hips touching the floor.

At the same time, put two feet on the wall.

Hold it for 2 seconds.
