Blow Underwater Air Rings
In the heat of the summer we're all looking for reasons to be in the pool. If you can master this stunt, you'll be the center of attention at any pool party!
Contents
Steps
- Get yourself flat on your back on the bottom of the pool. Some simple pool ducks or a buddy's foot will allow you to rest comfortably without floating back up.
- Position your head on the ground so you are looking straight up at the surface of the water.
- Glue your lips and let out a small puff of air as perfectly horizontally as you can. This step will take some practice to get the right feel. It might also help if you make a fart noise.
- Try to unglue your lips as soon as you let the air out, it will make the attempt easier
Tips
- The more still the pool water is, the easier it will be to make the rings, and the prettier they will be as they rise majestically up-ward.
- It helps to not just "let" the bubble out, but rather to "puff" it out gently, and be sure to close your lips very quickly, almost as if you are saying the word "pop".
- Try experimenting with the timing of the rings; sometimes the rings will interact with each other, one drawing the other into its vortex.
Warnings
- Never blow air rings in enclosures with dolphins, as they see it as up-staging and poop on you.
- If you are to try this, make a signal with your buddy (holding you down) so he/she knows you need to come up for air. (:
