Answers Alert For SwimSwam Brain Teaser: Time For A Swimmer Scramble

Updated with answers at the bottom of the post.

While under lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, we’re all looking for ways to pass the time creatively while in confinement. It’s a bonus when we can relate these activities to the sport of swimming, with many of us unable to get back in the water for some time.

To help keep your competitive juices flowing, we already released our first two SwimSwam Crossword Puzzles, which you can check out here and here.  This week, we’re offering up something for the whole family to try in the form of a fun word scramble to challenge your aquatic brains.

Below are 15 swimming-related words, remixed and unrecognizable, just waiting for you to unscramble. These are all familiar words, with a couple of proper names thrown in for good measure. If you’re itching to race, try timing yourself and see if you can beat your teammates, parents or coach.

As with our other brain teasers, the answers will be published down the road when you’ve had a chance to tackle the puzzle. Let us know how you do in the comments
