    For them ,like me who didn't understand title ... Backstroker in lane 5 stopped thinking his lap is done .. and finished last . His teammates covered rest of the race and still made up to the top. That's called carrying

But if you feel like it’s not super worth your time, you can save yourself from losing more time to it in the future by quitting now. The time you’ve spent on it is in the past and there’s no getting it back, but the future holds different possibilities so do what you love

The first one (swimming backstroke) messes up and stops after two lengths instead of four. The "butterfly guy" as they called him is the third out of the four to swim his lengths. They called him that because the butterfly is the stroke he is using to obliterate the last of the competition. Hope this helped :)

    For non-swimmers who are confused:
    I'm sure you probably know backstroke is the first one. At 0:50, the dude stopped after 50 yards or meters (two laps), not realizing it was a 400 medley relay (each leg having to swim 100y) instead of a 200 medley relay (each leg having to swim 50y). Second was breastroke, 3rd was butterfly, last is free.
    However, I do not think the relay won because a hold like that on the wall would DQ someone, and that would DQ the relay.
    Also I don't know if this is a meter pool or yard pool but judging by their time I think it's a meter pool.

      I feel like the freestyle person in lane 5 was just barely outpacing the others to keep it close. The person doing the butterfly set him up nicely as well.
      In Lane 2 his stride and flipturns netted the difference over the others, you could tell those last 50 yards he put everything into it.

      @xdQazi I mean... Fly is faster than free on paper. The issue comes with maintaining the speed and form for an "extended" distance.

    Seeing videos like this simultaneously makes me sad (literally got goosebumps watching this because THIS is the heart of swimming I miss so much), but also so proud. This is my sport. This is our sport. This is what swimming is all about.

      You're not wrong... kind of. 😂 The wake a swimmer produces is key to the theory that the middle lanes are fastest. Setting the pace in the middle of the pool will have the least resistance, as there is less choppy water caused by the wake from other swimmers.

    In case anyone was wondering how his coach and teammates reacted. Very supportive and understanding. They were a really great TEAM and had each other’s backs. That backstroke swimmer had only been trained in competitive swimming for six weeks before this meet. Stupid rookie mistake that he felt pretty awful about but did his best to fix. His teammates covered him. His Olympic trained coach wanted to train him for college scholarships and possible Olympics after that meet because despite his minimal training, he still placed in the top third at that meet.
