Bog Snorkeling

The world alternative games held in Whales have many weird "sports" that contestants can compete in. One of the most eye catching ones happened to be Bog Snorkeling.
Bog Snorkeling is a game in which the contestant must make it down a 60yd trench wearing goggles, a snorkel, and flippers. They must snorkel down the the trench doing conventional swimming strokes. "Flipper power is the key."
These sports have descended from many different countries and this has created huge attention from the media. Anyone can compete in this as long as they have goggles, flippers, a snorkel, and are registered to compete.
The current bog snorkeling record is 1.35.18 by Joanne Pitchforth from Heckmondwike.
The cash prizes from this event are;  World champion - £50.00, Junior champion - £25.00, Local champion - £25.00, Fancy dress - £25.00
