OUTDOORS WATER Water Tag An ordinary game of tag, such as you play on land, may be played in the water. Any stroke may be required. Water Wrestling A wrestling competition may be held in the water. Each wrestler is mounted on the shoulders of a friend who stands in breast-deep water. Another form of the game is between two contestants without mounting. Nearly all the holds and breaks used in Greco-Roman wrestling can be used with greater safety in the water than upon the wrestling mat. It is an easy matter to decide the winner. A fall is won by the contestant who first succeeds in forcing the other’s head under water. Submarine One boy stands in breast-deep water. A second boy swims down and tries to over-turn him by pulling at his leg. The first boy may not hold the diver in any way, so as to leave him free to come to the surface when he chooses. The diver can often succeed by making a violent rush at his companion’s knees. Tug Race One swimmer floats on his back, and is pulled or pushed along by a second boy. If this second swimmer uses back- stroke, he may hold his companion’s head or feet upon his chest, and swim by the legs only, towing the other along. If the swimmer uses breast-stroke, he may push the other player, head or feet first. 40
