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:
{{#ev:youtube|3jst9io0PGk}}
* 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 activate the switch, try to wallkick at the highest point of 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.
Note: The camera setup shown in the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jst9io0PGk above video] reduces a significant amount of lag, and it is recommended for players of any level. If you don't do this lag reduction, then spamming C-Right throughout the dive rollout before the 2nd door is the next best option.

=== Lag Reduction ===
This lag reduction is recommended for players with a decent understanding of the game's camera controls. If this camera setup proves too difficult, spamming C-Right while opening the 2nd door is the next best option.
