I've heard it's legal. Any strategies that work? How do you know that the person you're behind is helping you or holding you back?

    So did you beat them? Originally posted by geochuck Drafting I love to get between two of the fastest swimmers in the race. The beauty is that you no longer have to use your own energy. Let them drag you all through the race. I drafted off Herman Willemse the Nederlands and Haratio Iglesias www.ishof.org/03higlesias.html of Argentina for 20 miles of a twenty eight mile race. After the first 20 miles I felt great and they wore down. Easy going for me.
