==Overview==
The camera shows a close up of the first players on a pedestal before the pool, panning across to the other players. The camera changes to a diagonal angle, and the players prepare to dive. At the "START!" signal, Toad fires his pop gun, and the players jump into the water.
Gameplay begins with [[Toad]] firing his popgun at when the "START!" message occurs, then the players jump into the water and [[swim]]. There are three laps, each featuring a different type of stroke, and each player tries to win the swim race. Every player has a stamina meter, which empties the faster they swim, and if a player's stamina is emptied entirely, they move very slowly. If no one meets the objective, it is a draw.


==Gameplay==
The ending shows the winning player waving from the water, and if a draw occurs, the swimmers all stop moving.
The race consists of three laps, each lap having a different type of stroke. The goal is to complete the three laps the fastest. However, the player must be careful, for their character has a stamina meter that indicates how tired their swimmer is. The faster they swim, the faster their stamina depletes. If it empties all the way, their character will suffer a severe speed drop. The trick is to balance speed and stamina.


==Ending==
A [[Bowser]] plate can be unlocked for the [[Present Room]] by reaching the goal within at least a minute.
Once a player manages to finish all three laps, all swimmers will stop. The camera zooms to the winner, who waves while still in the water.
