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!

Float on your side, like you’re laying down on your side reading a book exactly 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.

Lay down on the bottom of the pool with your back, shoulders and hips touching the floor.
At the same time, but two feet on the wall.
Hold it for 2 seconds.
