Holborn BSAC 130

Wacky Swimming Olympics

Whacky SwimmingAn annual, good-natured competition organised by Holborn BSAC: the Wacky Olympics are an evening of fun and slightly silly underwater games.

The 2005 Olympics was held at Ironmonger Baths in EC1, and included teams from Holborn, Hellfins BSAC, YMCA BSAC and Islington BSAC 333.

Events included Underwater Egg and Spoon, Running on the Bottom, Underwater Surfing, Feet First Swim, Three Legged Swim and the main event, Syncronised Swimming where extra marks are awarded for stupid grinning.

The event is held in January/February each year and teams from all dive clubs are welcome to join in the fun. If you would like to enter a team in next year's event then please email us
