Watch South Carolina Gamecocks players enjoy a day on the lake with some white water rafting.

The college football offseason can be a grueling time for players as workouts ramp up and the summer heat becomes more brutal. With this, a break from hardcore practices can become a great opportunity for some rest, but also some helpful team building.

The South Carolina Gamecocks participated in this earlier this week as the team participated in a white water rafting event. The Gamecocks social media team was there to record the event and capture some of the key events from the day.

The video showcased a handful of Gamecocks struggling to stay afloat as they trekked the treacherous and choppy waters of the river. The chaotic conditions and athletic efforts resulted in a handful of hilarious moments for fans to enjoy.
