| howto = Non-Blue Pikmin drown after swimming for a while. If you have an idle Blue Pikmin grab the swimming Pikmin, the latter's swimming time will reset.

| notes = It's also possible to indefinitely extend the swimming period of a non-Blue Pikmin in [[Glitches in Pikmin#Extended swimming|''Pikmin'']], but the method is different.

| explanation = To make sure that a Blue Pikmin's rescue attempt is successful, as to prevent the player from being robbed out of a life save that seemed guaranteed, and in order to avoid having to deal with the Blue Pikmin carrying a Pikmin that's dying, the game resets the time the swimming Pikmin has left the second the Blue Pikmin grabs it. This prevents the swimming Pikmin from dying. If the throw is canceled, the Blue Pikmin will not throw the swimming Pikmin, but the latter's swimming time will still have been reset.
