How to Use an Underwater Skateboard

Underwater skateboards are used in the pool as a water activity.

The underwater skateboard is a piece of foam board that is to be used underwater like a skateboard. This concept/toy confuses a lot of people who are thinking, "Wait, it's foam, and kids are supposed to skate on it? Underwater?!" Yes, they are actually. Using an underwater skateboard is fun and challenging at the same time and a bonus feature is how it can help you work on your core strength.

Things You'll Need

• Pool at least 3 feet deep

Instructions

1. Hold the skateboard underwater. Put both feet on top of it and focus on trying to keep the skateboard level and underneath you. You must keep the skateboard floating at all times.

2. Move your feet from side to side on the board. The board should be moving underneath the water as well.

3. Move your feet up and down on the board while trying to keep it under your feet and under the water at the same time.

4. Have someone pull you along while you are in your most favored position and see if you can keep the skateboard underneath you and move around the pool.

5. Try having two people on the board and being pulled around the pool by two other players. See who can keep the skateboard underneath their feet the longest.
