It is called “Shark Attack” and it is a great way to practice swimming skills and have fun at the same time. In this blog post, we will explain how the game is played, who the game is for, and what skills it works on.

How is it played?

The game is played in a pool with one instructor and a group of students. The instructor acts as the “shark” and the students are the “fish”. The instructor wears a shark fin on their head or back and swims around the pool trying to catch the fish. The fish have to swim away from the shark using different strokes and techniques. The instructor can call out commands such as “switch to backstroke”, “dive underwater”, or “swim faster” to challenge the fish. The fish can also use pool toys or noodles to help them escape. The game ends when the shark catches all the fish or when the time runs out.

Who is the game for?

The game is suitable for swimmers of different ages and levels, as long as they can swim at least one length of the pool without assistance. The game can be adapted to suit different abilities by changing the size of the pool, the number of fish, the speed of the shark, or the commands given by the instructor. The game can also be played with more than one instructor or more than one shark to increase the difficulty or fun.

What skills does it work on?

The game works on various swimming skills such as endurance, speed, agility, coordination, and technique. The game also helps to develop confidence, teamwork, and creativity in swimmers. The game encourages swimmers to try different strokes and movements and to overcome their fears of being chased or caught by a shark.
