One team successfully completed it allowing them to go directly to the next Pit Stop.

Swimming involves scoring a goal at water polo, while the Paddle option requires the team to use a hand-pump to inflate a raft and then paddle across the Danube. All teams except one opted for the Swimming choice and it proved to be the easiest and quicker one of the two.
