  • The model: on the feet (right behind a swimmer) you go 20% faster for the same effort; on the hip (beside, slightly behind) 10%. Faster efforts use much more energy. Bumping into swimmers costs energy and speed.
  • The skill: get into the draft, then EASE OFF and let the leader do the work. Save energy to push when it matters: covering a surge, changing feet, or the finish.
  • Picking feet: on Level 3 some swimmers are faster than others. Follow the faster feet.
  • Turn buoy: the pack squeezes together. Swimmers who plan their position before the buoy avoid contact.
  • Stars: 3 stars needs a good finishing position; 2 stars means finishing close to the winner.
  • How to get 3 stars on each level shows in the answer panel under the game.
