3 streamlines. 1 at surface, 1 at bottom, 1 in middle (depth)

Focus on getting the swimmers to fall underwater first, plant their feet on the wall, and grow in a straight line off the wall into streamline. Goal is to travel in a straight line.

3 x SL + Flip

Streamline beginning underwater on belly.

At the surface do a front flip with knees pulled in to chest.

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.
