Part of the Multisport Merit Badge Digital Resource Guide: [Introduction & Overview](https://merit-badge.university/merit-badges/multisport/guide/index.md)

*4. Aquabike Path*

> **4.** Option D—Aquabike. **Aquabike**

Aquabike combines the technical demands of swimming with the equipment and handling skills of cycling. It removes the run, but it still rewards careful pacing and an organized transition.

## What You'll Complete

- **[Req 4d1 — Aquabike Swim Skills](https://merit-badge.university/merit-badges/multisport/guide/req4d1/)**: Review the swimming prerequisite, Safe Swim Defense, and open-water awareness.
- **[Req 4d2 — Aquabike Bike Skills](https://merit-badge.university/merit-badges/multisport/guide/req4d2/)**: Build safe riding habits, routine bike checks, and proper helmet-and-clothing practices.

Aquabike is a good fit if you like endurance but want less impact than a run finish. It still asks for strong focus because you must switch from the water to the bike without losing control.
