*When you were all out by the pool with your swimming gear*

Gareth: Well then, let me introduce you all to the games. I'm sure you'll pick up the games quickly as they're based on other sports.

Jack: Is there one like football?

Gareth: No, unfortunately not, because I haven't come up with any clever ideas on how to play football in a pool. Since you haven't come up with any ideas, I'm assuming you haven't either.

Jack: Right, that would be a bit of a challenge (laughs)

Gareth: (Laughs too) Exactly.

Jack: Well, it doesn't matter, we can still play enough football.

Gareth: Well then, the first game is volleyball in the water, the second is basketball in the water, the third is shape-finding in the water and the last is ultimate.

Mason: Can you explain the games to us?

Gareth: Of course. Volleyball is with your made teams (a couple of parts before) 2 against two. Basketball is the same, just without. In shape search, there are shapes hidden in the water and I tell you which shape you have to make. The team that gives me the mould first wins.

Reece: So all the shapes only exist once?

Gareth: Exactly, and you can take the moulds away again as long as you don't use force. Each team gets 1 point per mould given to me. Whoever has more points at the end wins.

Reece: Oh, soo. Also 2 against 2?

Gareth: Yes

Reece: Okay, good.

Harry Kane: And Ultimate?

Gareth: You'll play four against four. I've drawn all the matches, including this one. Which is just obvious, you're always in your teams of 2, but opponents or team-mates in a 4 v 4, I've drawn.

Harry Kane: Oh sooo, okay.

Gareth: The game goes like this. You have to get a ball to the other side of the pool without running/swimming with the ball. So just throw it. The opponents have to get to the other side and can capture the ball. If you drop the ball, it belongs to the others.

Mason: Good, I understand.

Gareth: Do you all understand?

ALL: Yes

Gareth: Good, then let's set up. One pool stays empty for those who don't play and have to wait.

*You've set everything up*
