Description

In this exercise, there will be three students:
One student outside the pool giving directions.
One student, blindfolded, searching for the arch (boat), moving through the water or diving if there are no obstacles.
One student at the start of the pool, who will act as the “shark.”
 
After 40 seconds from the moment the student searching for the boat begins their journey, the “shark” starts swimming using their preferred technique, attempting to catch the student on the boat search.
 
Scoring:
If the “shark” catches the student searching for the boat, the “shark” earns 2 points.
 
If the student searching for the boat reaches the arch without being caught, they earn 2 points.
At the end, there will be a moment of reflection with the students, in which they will share how they felt when they trusted their classmate to successfully complete the objective
