I spoke with my brother-in-law who writes computer programs for NASA and understands motion better than anyone I know. He said there is one huge flaw in thinking about using some one's bow wave. The lead swimmer is also creating a wave that is probably stronger than the person behind and would negate the force coming up to the lead swimmer.
He doesn't think that it would be possible or important. More likely, the lead swimmer would create so much backwards ppush that those following would be slowed.
Can't wait to see it on tv.
