A Bunch of Jellyfish

A Bunch of Crabs?

Details:

Each pool is 6 feet deep and is a 20' x 10' rectangle. There are tall, slippery walls surrounding the pool so you cannot get out of the water.
One pool has about 30 jellyfish in it - fun fun fun.
The other pool has a good layer of crabs along the bottom, so you cannot touch bottom (or at least it would be very unpleasant.)
In both cases there is a wave machine to stir things up a bit. I'm not sure how that would work but it is set up in such a way that it cannot help you in any way shape or fashion or be disabled. It just makes a bunch of waves in the pool.
You have no protective gear - it is just you and a swimsuit.

Comments: HELLO!!!! Jellyfish are BAD. They can kill you, will attack whether you want them to or now, will be moved around by the waves and just aren't good. The crabs can't swim all that well and would remain on the bottom for the most part. I'm a lifeguard. I am capable of treading water for long periods of time with a BRICK in my hands, take away the brick and I'm good to go for a LONG time. The waves don't matter at all. Bring on the crabs. Just keep the jellyfish away!

Comments: i have to stick with the crabs. first of all, why do you need to touch the bottom? you can just float on the top of the water. and second of all, the waves won't hurt you. just get as far away or as close to the wave machine as you can get and they won't hit you as hard. you can also get a workout by swimming into the waves.

Comments: Hopefully I could just keep my feet off the bottom by treading water. It seems like it would be a lot harder to stay away from the jelly fish. And we didn't determine the size of these jelly fish. Have you ever seen the ones they get out in California? They look like frisbees! That would be very scary!
