Slalom diving

Three offset underwater hoops are placed about one and a half meters apart in roughly chest-deep water. The child dives through all three in a slalom pattern in a single dive, without breathing between hoops; arms and legs may be used freely. This trains the underwater directional changes needed to reach the offset hoops.
