# Aquabike Simulation

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

*7. Race-Day Challenge*

> **7d.** Aquabike (swim 100 m and bike 3 km)

Aquabike trades the run finish for a longer feeling of sustained effort on the bike. The transition still matters, but once you are riding, your main job is to settle into a smooth, safe pace.

### Keys to doing this well

- leave the water composed, not panicked
- put on your helmet before handling the bike
- build speed gradually instead of surging too early
- keep your focus all the way to the end because the bike is your finish line

> **Tip**
>
> Aquabike is a great reminder that “no run” does not mean “easy event.” The bike finish still rewards discipline and pacing.

The next requirement looks beyond this event and asks you to choose two ways to stay involved in multisport after the badge.
