That reminds me ....
I used to go to the Trowbridge Village Pump Festival every year.
A group of blokes calling themselves the Norfolk Mountain Rescue Team used to put on a show out in the field.
I think they did the "climbing along flat ground " thing, with ropes and pitons and they also used to do synchronised swimming (on dry land).
With the aid of a large sheet of blue polythene (the water) with a number of cross slits in it and a helper holding up each corner, about a dozen hairy blokes in balloon-enhanced bikinis, nose clips and heavy boots would start off cavorting in sync, rising and falling gracefully through the slits in the polythene but would gradually deteriorate into mayhem and balloon popping .. to the tune of Swan Lake.
