We all know that drafting off someone allows you to go faster with less effort, I am wondering if being drafted off of slows one down? Anyone know?

Don't believe all those ones for sure. Abou was not a very fast swimmer and had quite a splashy stroke. It was easy to pull away from him at the start of a race but once you got up around the 10 mile mark he was very tough.
He would catch onto some one and rest on the draft, then pull away rested then latch onto someone else, rest then catch onto someone else rest until he was closer to the lead. He did not win a lot of races in the USA or Canada.
He used to come to our house for dinner often. He sure could eat, two or three T bone steaks in a sitting. A family sized chichen was like an appetizer to him.
