Overview

Swim League is all about building strength to perform well while swimming. While not exactly reflective of reality, this experience gives you a taste of what it would look like if bodybuilders were also Olympic swimmers.

You can perform exercises specific to the muscle groups in the chest, back, abs, arms, and legs to raise their power. The more you train, the higher your overall power goes. Once raised sufficiently, you can undergo Ascension to raise your level cap and keep your growth uniform across the different muscle groups.

Furthermore, as your power level goes higher, you will become more capable of challenging the champion swimmers of the region. Matching or surpassing their strength will lead to a surefire victory, earning you the highest Cash reward. Use the money earned in the races to obtain Pets, boosters, and Trainers to sustain your overall growth rate.

Use every resource at your disposal to train your way to the top and become the best swimmer in the world.

Gameplay Mechanics

Clicker-Style Training: The game requires you to train using the different exercising equipment in the hub. Upon interacting with them, you will be prompted to press the Left Mouse Button to perform one repetition of the exercise. Your avatar will only perform a rep at a speed that your power level allows. Meaning, mashing the button will not help you train faster.
Ascension: The Ascension menu gives you a specific goal to work toward, reaching which lets you undergo Ascension and unlock a new tier of training. Simultaneously, the amount of power you gain per rep also increases with each Ascension, making it beneficial to actively chase the next level.
Races: Challenge the best swimmers in the region to a race and use your clicking skills to boost your speed. You will have an easier time defeating them if your power level is higher than theirs. This gives you clicks more power, and you won’t have to mash the Left Mouse Button as much. Winners of the race are rewarded with Cash prizes; the higher you rank, the better the prizes will be.
Worlds: You can unlock up to five Worlds by defeating the champion of the previous one. The first World is unlocked by default, with each subsequent area upping the ante by presenting you with a massive jump in power.
Quests and Achievements: Earn Gems and Cash for completing various tasks in the game. Training, winning races, and more net you Daily and Weekly Quest completion points, giving you access to both currency types. Furthermore, you will automatically complete in-game Achievements, unlocking more rewards in the process.
Trainers: Spend Gems to hire Trainers, who act as moral support and boost your overall growth rate. Certain Trainers are purchasable or freely obtained through mission rewards, while others require you to spend Robux. The highest tiers of Trainers increase your training efficacy by leaps and bounds.
Pets: The experience includes Pets who follow you around in the overworld when equipped. These Pets add a flat multiplier to your overall currency gain, making them an essential part of the game’s economy. You can use Cash or Robux to purchase new and powerful Pets.
Premium Features: There are various boosts, exclusive Pets, Trainers, and more that you can purchase using Robux. These optional purchases can help you cut down on the time required to raise your strength to the desired level. They can be worthwhile purchases if you’re aiming for the top spot on the leaderboard.
