Link girls between sections in the swimming pool.

Added by the GGNZ Programme team

Resources

Swimming Pool
Link badges in plastic bags

Instructions

Have Pippins at the shallow end of the pool, then brownies, guides and rangers.

Have the girls linking up, 'swim' to get their badges (these could be floating between the sections or weighted down so they have to 'dive' down to get them) and then 'swim' onto the next section where they are greeted by the girls and leaders.
Or have the Pippins standing at the side of the pool near a slide, and the girls linking to Brownies, climb the slide to retrieve their badges, before sliding down to the Brownies who are waiting in the water.
Or use a boat or inflatable or floatation device to "transport" the girls between sections.

The key is to be aware of the abilities of the girls - don't have them in deep water if they are not comfortable being there, don't make them put their heads under the water if they are not confident in the water. Have lots of adults in the water for reassurance and support.
