Strung Out

Strung out describes a situation in an open water race where swimmers become spaced apart, losing the draft pack.
This usually occurs after pace increases or during tactical surges. Being strung out means swimmers must work harder to maintain pace without the benefit of drafting, often leading to greater fatigue. Staying in a group offers advantages, so becoming strung out can be a critical moment in the race.
