OYO: 25-yd Butterfly, 25-yd Backstroke, 25-yd Breaststroke, 25-yd Freestyle
THANG 3: OCTOPUS CATCH-AND-RELEASE
YHC tossed three octopus sinker toys in the deep end. PAX partnered up with a new partner and assembled at one end of the lane pool.
– Catch:
– Partner A swims any stroke to opposite end of the lane, exits pool & walks to deep end, dives to bottom & retrieves an octopus, resurfaces, reenters lane pool, and swims w/the octopus back to Partner B.
– While waiting, Partner B switches between 5 Start Jumps & 5 Peter Parkers alpha, AMRAP.
– Release:
– Partner B hand-delivers the octopus back to the bottom of the deep end, using the same route Partner A used to Catch.
– While waiting, Partner A does the same AMRAP reps Partner B did during Catch.
– Rinse & Repeat
THANG 4: WATER FOOTBALL
John Heisman once told his Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets: “It would be better to have died a young boy than to fumble this football.” PAX enter deep end. YHC provided a rubber football. PAX pass the football. If the football ever touches the water surface under any circumstances, all PAX exit the pool and do 1 burpee. We ended up doing 3-4 burpees before YHC called time.

NAKED-MAN MOLESKIN:
Mumblechatter at 0600 included reservations that the pool water would be cold at summer’s outset. We were running so hot by the time we hit the pool, it did not really matter. Either way, the PAX sure warmed it up for the benefit of the residents of Medlock Bridge neighborhood.
