If this is your first time joining us we do a combination of getting wet (some even manage to swim!) and some other silly challenge. In this update I give the details of this week’s challenge and what you’ll need to have ready

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. What you’ve all done in previous weeks is just fine - a bath, a shower, a paddling pool, a bucket & cup - whatever works for you.

A second dip is entirely optional

The theme

Olympics

The briefing

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.

The challenge

Between swims you need to get changed and complete the challenge below. You will need a tape measure, a toilet roll and a peg or two.

Do you want another scavenger hunt?

The challenge - standing long jump - how far can you jump from a standing position? Use a roll of toilet paper (you hoarded it right?) and a peg to measure your attempts. If you want to get serious, you can use a tape measure to see how far you actually went.

Here’s a twitter link to a video.
