Hats off to the University of Lincoln swimming club! The team has taken the viral mannequin challenge to the next level with almost impossible underwater poses.

Despite the odd forgivable ripple, the team of disciplined swimmers stopped the clock on backstrokes, pool-side dives and floats before cutting to a surreal underwater scene, where frozen characters lounged at the bottom of the pool.

The mannequin challenge is sweeping social media, with everyone from celebrities, gym bunnies and businesses imitating mannequins while a camera moves through them to music.
