“Sync or Swim – Dry Pool Swimming Mimic” is an engaging icebreaker activity that involves a fun and creative way to get people interacting and laughing. Here’s how the activity works. To break the ice and for participants to let loose and have fun while mimicking swimming movements without water. Open space for participants to move around
Imaginary “pool” area marked with floor tape or cones or ropes with some playful music.
The instructor will explain to the teams that they will be participating in a creative and lighthearted activity that mimics swimming movements, all without actual water. Emphasize that this is a fun way to get moving and break the ice. A few exaggerated movements will be demonstrated and will be exaggerated showing how to mimic various swimming strokes, kicking legs, and other typical pool movements. Make sure to be energetic and enthusiastic to set the tone for the activity.

In a different methodology, some variations will b introduce, such as asking participants to mimic specific swimming styles like freestyle, breaststroke, or backstroke. In addition to this some playful challenges, like they’re swimming through different conditions like molasses, pudding, or jelly. In all this, if music rounds make the difference, it takes some to adjust to beats and flow but it is more fun trying to keep up with those beats.
