Fling a Friend

In your lane, one person gets ready to do a SL, but they keep their hands near their head.

Friend, grabs their hands, and tugs them, tosses them towards the flags in streamline.

Streamliner glides as far as they can hold their breath going as far as the person flung them.

Q of the Day Answer: When you swim for 1 hour and do as many lengths, (laps) as possible.
