Swimming Race

Swimming Race is a tapping rhythm game disguised as a sports game — or perhaps the other way around. You control your swimmer's stroke rhythm with alternating inputs, and maintaining a steady cadence just above your natural exhaustion threshold is the key to optimal speed.

Four strokes — freestyle, butterfly, backstroke, and breaststroke — each have distinct rhythm patterns that must be learned separately. Fatigue builds if you over-sprint and can be recovered by dropping back to a slower, efficient rhythm.

The eight-lane pool format with seven AI competitors creates genuine race drama even in a solo run.
