Drafting Vessels

Drafting is not being able to swim in the slipstream of escort boats, kayaks, or official boats in order to have an unfair advantage. Athletes have no business doing such in open water races and triathlon swim segments since it serves to help them conserve power in the wrong way. Officials monitor for such rule infractions, and athletes bending the rule can incur time penalties or disqualification in the event that they are apprehended.
