Swimming Games on waterfront

Swimming spell down-The leader calls out a swimming stunt. Those who succeed in performing the stunt remain in the game; those who fail are eliminated, until only the champion is left. However, this game calls for some understanding on the part of the leader. Stunts should start with easy ones for the group at first, to prevent players from being eliminated too quickly, and they should gradually become more difficult.

Poison-A ring is formed in the pool by players, either holding hands or holding onto a rope circle. The “poison” is a floating object anchored in the center of the group. The object of the game is to maneuver so that others touch the poison. As they do they are eliminated and swim off. The last one left is the winner.

Prison camp-This game is a “water” variety of a very old Boy Scout game. The players, who may be of any convenient number, are divided into two teams who wear some identifying mark, such as similarly colored swim caps, armbands, etc.

Two prison camps are marked out on land at each end of the swimming area, and the water between them is considered neutral area. The object of the game is to capture as many of the “enemy” as possible by tagging them, and to free captured teammates. When a member of one team captures an enemy, he escorts the captive to his team’s prison camp where the prisoner must remain until the end of the game unless rescued.

Prisoners are rescued if a member of their team can manage to reach the camp in which they are held without being tagged. In some games all the prisoners are freed and may return to their forces unmolested; in others each prisoner must be tagged by a “free” member of his own team to be released. The game may continue until all the players on one side have been captured, or for some prearranged length of time. Without some time limit, this game may go on almost indefinitely.
