What: Opening Day (aka "Swimming Festival")
When: Summer 1st, 10 AM
Where: Beach
Description: The opening day swimming festival is very difficult to win, especially on your first try - mainly because of Kai. Just be sure to save the game the night before, because if you don't win you'll need to restart until you do, since the prize is a Power Berry. Pay attention to your stamina; once it becomes red you need to breathe, otherwise you'll turn blue and not be able to win. Swim by pressing X repeatedly, and breathe by pressing the triangle. There are different strategies to winning, and you'll just need to find one that works for you. It's possible to just press X and triangle repeatedly, if quickly enough, and still win.
