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.
Makes Morris dancing seem almost sensible...Almost!
