A Swimmer is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. Originally, the only Swimmers to appear in-game were male—Swimmer♂ (Japanese: かいパンやろう Swimsuit Guy)—but in Generation II, female swimmers, Swimmer♀ (Japanese: ビキニのおねえさん Bikini Lady) were introduced. Swimmers are found in the sea, usually just off the coast, and in some Gyms.

When female Swimmers are paired with male Tubers in Double Battles, they are called Sis and Bros.

They specialize in Water-type Pokémon.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

A Swimmer first appeared in Wake Up—You’re Snorlax!, participating in the Bicycle race Red eventually won, during which they were impeded by a Snorlax sleeping in an inconvenient spot.

Another Swimmer later appeared in Breath of the Dragonair Part 1 and Breath of the Dragonair Part 2, where he broke his leg before a surfing contest and lent Yellow his Slowpoke.

Ruby & Sapphire chapter

A Feebas-hunting Swimmer appears in VS. Feebas, being the Trainer class's most prominent appearance. When Ruby accidentally crashes into his trap laid for the Feebas, he forces Ruby into helping him with his hunt. After Ruby finds a Feebas and lets it go, he tells Ruby he is looking for a Feebas to sell to a man who is willing to pay a load of money for the rare fish. After Ruby decides to keep the Feebas for a while, the Swimmer decides to find Ruby so he can breed a Feebas of his own.

He appears once again in Slateport City. When the Contest Hall collapses, he helps the shocked Ruby out of the hall. He also helps to rescue a blind boy who was assigned by Steven to read the slab containing the secret to unlock the Legendary golems.

As stated by Hidenori Kusaka in Volume 16's Author's Words, this Swimmer is Jack. He can be fought in the games, using the same Pokémon.

Trivia

  • In lack of female Swimmers, Generation I features swimming Trainers of the Beauty and Jr. Trainer♀ classes.
  • For the first time in Generation V, male Swimmers are depicted with swim shorts in a Japanese release. In previous games, they were depicted wearing swim briefs, which would sometimes be changed into swim shorts for international releases.
