Imagine a creating small whirlpool when you're swimming with your friends. Here let me show you some simple steps to create whirlpool.

A whirlpool is a swirling body of water usually produced by ocean tides. The vast majority of whirlpools are not very powerful. Moving water steadily around the outside edge of a pool eventually causes a depression in the center, creating the whirlpool reaction. Try it with your friends in the pool to make a nice and fun whirlpool.

Friends probaly 4-5
A small swimming pool(works best in round pool)

1.Gather some friends to join you in the pool.

2.Discuss with your friends what swim stroke you gonna do. Decide which swimming strokes is important in creating a whirlpool. Try out stroke like freestyle and maintain it at the same pace with your friends.

3.Discuss where is your direction. Clockwise or counterclockwise. Stand equal distance from each other and swim at the direction you all choose.

4.Start slowly with everyone in the same direction. Stay as close as possible to the edge of the swimming pool.

5.Keep up the speed and start going faster until you can feel the water begin to flow along with you. After somewhile it'll be easy for you to go on.

6.When the whirlpool gets fast enough, float around and enjoy it with your friends. If you want some challenge try swim in the opposite way. Fight againts the current and pratice your swim stroke.
