Throwing line typically set 15-20ft (4.5-6m) from the tank.

HOW TO PLAY
1

A volunteer sits on the fold-down seat above the dunk tank, ready for throwers to take aim.

2

Each thrower stands behind the marked line and takes their turn throwing balls at the target lever beside the tank.

3

Hitting the target squarely releases the seat and drops the volunteer into the water below.

4

If a thrower misses with all their allotted balls, the next thrower in line steps up to try.

5

The volunteer climbs back onto the seat after each dunk, and a fresh volunteer may rotate in after a set number of dunks.

6

Throwers may keep a tally of successful dunks to see who has the best aim of the day.
