Maybe as a possible task, teams have to swim and complete all eight Olympic races that Phelps won gold in.

That would be an Olympic-sized task -- and one that would leave teams gasping for air -- literally!

Considering how many competitive swimmers would struggle to complete a long coures 400 IM or 200 fly, my guess for a swimming-based task would be some short relay like they did with the kids running in Arfica in TAR 6, or else something like doing 800 meters of freestyle, which is far more doable for a casual swimmer if they take their time and rest on the walls or lane lines as needed. That one could not only really separate out the field because ability levels can vary so much, but you can also make the other racer hold the lap cards and that makes for a fun visual.

Could this quite possibly be a dreaded INTERSECTION, as well...The two teams pair up and have to swim a 400M freestyle relay. Each member only has to swim one length of the pool, but you would have to hope that all 4 members of the group were competant swimmers.
something like doing 800 meters of freestyle ---- that is really, even for a good swimmer, a bunch of swimming. In the Beijing pool that would be 16 down and backs ... That is a lot of water to swim...

All this conjecture about swimming events may be just that. If one had to run just 100 meters to meet a time standard, one would be gasping for air at the end. Especially if you are not a trained athlete and the smog level is high as it usually is in Beijing. The Bird Cage has been shown in the promos and not the Water Cube, and this has been the location of the track and field events. Maybe the team has to do a watered down version of the Decathalon (that's ten streneous tasks - five for each member of the team)

Thanks to Chateau we now know the Segways are most likely EP2 Schönau am Königssee - Germany
Jamie & Cara are on the Segways, their coats even match the Salzburg blurry blog pictures, they are the only ones shown on the Segways just to clear that up.
"Two women were running together. One was hobbling. The other said, "I'm going ahead a bit," and the other countered with, "OK, go ahead." Off into the park they went, clueless as the day was long."
georgiapeach:
I think the source meant there that they were not going the right (most direct) way to the PitStop....
So did one of them hurt themselves falling on that Segway? :'(
And the cakes have to be JUST before the PitStop, or they would have been cleaned up before the source saw them, right?
