The Swimming Return is the Defensive Power Shot used by Waluigi in Mario Power Tennis and Mario Tennis: Power Tour. To achieve this shot, Waluigi puts his hands in his ears then turns his half of the course into a swimming pool and does a lanky breaststroke across the course to fetch the off-course ball. When hit, the rebounded ball turns into a lob; the lob increases in height the further away Waluigi was before he initiated this move.
