Hallway Swimming
Hallway Swimming at School
Our parent's tax dollars hard at work as we find new activities for recess at school! Hallway swimming is a new activity that takes alot of endurance, so it is also great exercise.
The janitors don't seem to mind either. The janitor at my school saw us hallway swimming (he called it hallway surfing) and just said "go on and keep it up, my floors are looking nice and clean". So not only is there a fitness component to this, but it is also an environmentally friendly way to keep school floors shiny and clean.
This activity looks easier than it really is. Try it yourself!
Fitness for Hallway Swimming
Having a hard time with your hallway swimming? Can't do more than 10 reps? If you want to be able to hallway swim longer, then you need to build endurance and muscles at the same time as with many sports.
Flexibility is key to being able to make the turns.
Check out some of our other gymnastics training videos and flexibility training to improve your hallway surfing. Then post a video of at least 10 reps - maybe we will add it to our collection of hallway swimming videos for others to enjoy.
