Underwater games like this are particularly suitable for swimming lessons as they are both fun and a workout. This game can be played with an unlimited number of people in the water.

This water game is also suitable to be played in open water (sea or lake), but in this case remember to use swimming goggles for better visibility.
→ With well-fitting swim caps for women, you are ideally equipped to fish as many rings out of the pool as possible.
