-To activate the switch, try to wallkick at the highest point of Mario's triple jump.
+Activating the switch depends entirely on the height of the wallkick, so the most important thing to aim for is wallkicking at the highest point of the triple jump. To do this, follow these tips:
+* Start with a buffered kick to guarantee minimum kick height.
+* Do as small a double jump as possible.
+* Strafe left along the wall between jumps to buy space to fit in the triple jump.
+To quickly get out of the water, dive late and close to the far end of the button, then time a swim.
