GASA to host Olympic Gala today

Jun 21, 2015 Sports

The Guyana Amateur Swimming Association (GASA) will be hosting a Gala from 11:00 hrs today in observance of Olympic Day at the National Aquatic Centre.  The affair is intended to promote camaraderie among all participants through fun competitions.
All events will be contested as Relays.  Teams will comprise of six to eight swimmers (depending on the number of available participants).  The events to be held are Backstroke, Butterfly, Breaststroke and Freestyle. Teams may enter any number of events and a token will be presented to the winning team.
TANDEM RELAYS
Tandem Relays can be swim in two or four lengths.  Each length is swum by two swimmers; one in front pulling in accordance with the relevant stroke and one at the back holding the legs of the swimmer in front and kicking in accordance with the stroke.
Wet T-Shirt Relay
This game starts out like any other relay race. Two teams are created, and half of each team lines up on opposite ends of the pool. So what makes this relay race different? The wet T-shirt! The starting player for each team is given a soaking wet T-shirt. The players put the T-shirt on, completely — then jump in, swim across the pool, climb out, take off the shirt and hand it to the next player on the team. The first team to get everyone across the pool in the T-shirt wins.
Floatie Race
For this game, you’ll need two or more people, and two floaties of any kind — as long as they’re big enough to sit on. Two players line up on their floaties at one end of the pool and, on “go”, race to the other end. First one there wins. This game works best in a longer pool, and can also be played as a relay race with two teams.
