Grab the T-bar and swing forward with momentum. As you approach the bell, allow your swing to carry you toward it, then release one hand and strike the bell with your hand or feet. Let go of the bar and drop into the water below. Swim around the pole to complete the obstacle, and just like that, Bob’s your uncle!

Build grip strength and swing confidence with hanging bar work, including dead hangs and controlled swings. Combine this with swimming practice to ensure you’re comfortable entering and moving through water after the drop.

Q: Do I have to hit the bell to complete the obstacle?
A: Yes, ringing the bell is the objective. Use your momentum wisely; don’t swing too fast or you’ll overshoot it.

Q: What if I drop before hitting the bell?
A: You’ll need to swim to the exit and may incur a penalty depending on your race category. Check the rules specific to your wave.

Q: Is this obstacle suitable for non-swimmers?
A: You do need to be comfortable in water to complete this one safely, as you’ll need to swim to the exit after dropping in.
