Swim Sprint
A rhythm swimming race against seven computer swimmers: stroke on the beat, manage stamina and oxygen, time your turns and win medals at five meets.
Swim Sprint is a rhythm-based swimming race game seen from above an outdoor pool. Dive in on the starting beep, then drive through the water by tapping left and right arm strokes in time with the beat. Hit the beat cleanly and your swimmer surges ahead; rush it, or pull with the same arm twice, and you splash and slow down.
Every stroke uses stamina and air. The rhythm bar has two targets: a fast Sprint zone that burns stamina and a calmer Cruise zone that lets you recover, so longer races are about choosing when to push. In freestyle and butterfly you must take breaths on the beat before your oxygen runs dry, while backstroke lets you breathe freely. Near the wall, a well-timed tumble turn sends you off with a powerful underwater push, but hitting the wall without turning costs precious time. A ghost of your personal best swims beside you in your lane.
Race the 50m freestyle, 100m backstroke, 100m butterfly and 200m freestyle at five meets, from the Club Gala to the World Finals. Rivals get faster at each meet, and two medals unlock the next one. Tip: in the 200m, cruise through the middle lengths and save your sprint for the final 50 metres.
How to play
Press left and right strokes alternately in time with the rhythm bar. The yellow Sprint zone is fastest but tiring; the green Cruise zone is slower but restores stamina. Breathe on the beat when oxygen is low (not needed in backstroke). Press Turn when you are close to the wall for a fast push-off. Do not move before the start beep: two false starts disqualify you. Finish in the top three to win a medal; two medals at a meet unlock the next meet.
