Which one is Michael Phelps?
#5: Linda Martin (ilovethispuzzle123) on Dec 11, 2010
totally unique idea! is this the freestyle portion of an i.m.?
#6: Trish (tryingmysoul) on Dec 12, 2010
It's whatever you want it to be.

Michael Phelps is the one in the swim trunks.

i don't think i've ever "re-commented" on a puzzle but this one deserves more praise. i love how you staggered the swimmers so that it really does looks like a race in progress. they are also ethnically diverse, so it shows you gave this puzzle some extra thought. the swimmers are even in various stages of the freestyle stroke which gives the puzzle movement. the puzzle is graphically pleasing because of the blue plane divided by the red and white lane markers. a superb illustration done within the limits of square pixels and 5 colors.

The perspective is so unique that I, literally, didn't see it until I filled in the last
square. Up to that point, I was seeing a shelf. Of course, if I'd thought to look at the title...
The 2 1/2 quality rating is way too low. I gave it 5.

It's fun to work on a puzzle without looking at the title, more fun to have the image "pop."

This is well designed and unique. Nicely done, Trish.

This one reminds me of the great PC games of the past. Mainly Epyx produced Summer Games. Always fun to play and the swimming events looked almost like this! Nice job!

Having just watched the Rio 2016 Olympic games, this is definitly super awesome!
