Thank you to everyone who joined our first week of virtual training - you were all brilliant!! I asked who wanted to meet again for week two and you said you wanted to, so here we go again!!

Details

What to have ready

As before, you will need to be in your swimming kit (including goggles & hat but not earplugs!!) with a dry robe or something to keep you warm, ready for the briefing. Be prepared to get wet in what ever form of water you can access within lockdown guidelines. What you did last week was just fine - a bath, a shower, a paddling pool, a bucket & cup - whatever works for you.

This time we’ll double dip, so be ready to put your second costume on when you get changed after your first dip.

The theme

Given that it’s the 75th anniversary of VE day on 8th May, perhaps it should be something associated with that - time to get creative!

The briefing

I’ll do a briefing like last weekend. I’ll give you time to chat and at 8.55 or so I’ll start the briefing at which point I’ll put everyone temporarily on mute. Given that this weekend’s challenge is a little more complicated, I’m including information about it here…….

The challenge

Between swims you need to get changed and complete the challenge shown in the clip below (thanks to Forest Gate School for sharing).

You will need:

One rucksack (or similar)
20 pairs of socks (or similar)
1 broom

Note, if you are in a household of one and therefore don’t have a partner to throw pairs of socks at you for you to catch in a bag, you can instead throw your pairs of socks into a bag.
