TUBE TOW RULES

The Patrol lines up on the western side of the diving pool with 2 ropes of at least 25-30m in length and an inflated car tyre tube. 

On the start whistle the ends of each rope are to be secured to the tyre using a recognizable Scout knot. A member then swims with one of the ropes to the eastern side of the pool and gets out. The remaining patrol members use the second rope to pull the empty car tyre back to the western side of the pool. 

The next Scout gets into the tyre and is pulled across the pool using the rope. This sequence continues until all of the Patrol, the tyre and the ropes are out of the pool and the Patrol is in a straight line at the alert. 

The Patrol Leader then raises the patrol registration number in the air. 

The first Patrol to achieve this will be declared the winner.
