Camp Song - Swimming

Traditional

Swimming, swimming, in the swimming pool,
When days are hot, when days are cold,
In the swimming pool.
Breast stroke, side stroke, fancy diving too.
Don't you wish you never had
Anything else to do, BUT!

Swimming, swimming - make swimming motions
In the swimming pool - draw a square with your fingers to represent a swimming pool
When days are hot - wipe your forehead
When days are cold - cross your arms over your chest and shiver
In the swimming pool - draw a square again
Breast stroke - make a breast stroke action in the air
Sidestroke - make a side stroke action in the air
Fancy diving too - hold your nose and make a shape like a diver jumping off a high board with the other hand
Don't you wish you never had anything else to do BUT - swing you index finger back and forth

The song is then repeated. During the first repeat you hum only the first part. On the second repeat, you hum the first and second part. Third repeat, hum the first, second and third part and so on. Finally all the song is hummed, except the final BUT!
