UNDERWATER TAG

THIS GAME IS PLAYED MUCH THE SAME AS ANY OTHER
TAG GAME. ONE PERSON IS IT. IT IS HIS JOB TO
CATCH THE OTHER PLAYERS. THIS GAME IS PLAYED
IN THE DEEP END OF A POOL. PLAYERS MUST SWIM
FROM ONE SIDE OF THE POOL TO THE OTHER, LENGTH-
WISE. THE PERSON WHO IS IT MUST CATCH THE
SWIMMERS AND DRAG THEM TO THE SURFACE. IF THE
SWIMMER ESCAPES ITS' GRASP BEFORE REACHING
THE SURFACE, AND TOUCHES THE OPPOSITE SIDE,
HE HAS NOT BEEN CAUGHT.
THIS GOES ON UNTIL EVERYONE IS CAUGHT.
WHEN A PERSON IS CAUGHT, HE THEN JOINS THE
PERSON WHO IS IT.
