Intro Video

Then Maria switches hands with Pablo Sanchez and Ashley switches hands with Reese Worthington. Then Pablo switches hands with Luanne Lui and Reese switches hands with Sidney Webber. Then Luanne switches hands with Dante Robinson and Sidney switches hands with Mikey Thomas. Then Dante finishes first. Then Maria, Pablo, Luanne, and Dante celebrate their victory and give each other a high five, while the other backyard kids and the pro kids congratulate them. Then the Backyard Swimming logo appears.

Game Modes

 * Play Quickly Now - Start a swimming game with random settings.
 * Pickup Game - Players select a pool, choose from either Individual or Team, and pick a Backyard Kid or a Pro Kid.
 * Grand Prix - It's kinda like Season Mode or League Play, but swimming-themed. In the mode, you enter your name as a coach. Then, you can select a pool as your home stage, as well as select from either the individual swimming type or the team swimming type. Next, you look at schedules and compete in Tournaments, Playoffs, Contests, Cups, Opens, and Heats (like the Backyard Open and the Olympic Open). Also, players also participate in world rounds and preliminary matchups for big prizes.
 * Mini-Games - Players select from either Time Attack (Individual), Time Attack (Team) One-on-One, Battle Swim Race (Individual)*, or Battle Swim Race (Team)*.
 * Online LAN - Play online against other friends and see who becomes the best swimmer in the universe.

(*) = An asterisk means that Battle Swim Race is like survival mode, but in Backyard Swimming fashion, and there are unlimited laps. Battle Swim Race (Individual) is a free-for-all match where the swimmer who survives and swims with the most laps and the most stamina wins. Battle Swim Race (Team) is where the team that swims and survives with the most laps and the most stamina wins.
