Swimmer (Trainer class)
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.
They specialize in Template:Type2 Pokémon.

In the manga
In the Pokémon Special manga, a Feebas-hunting Swimmer appears in PS208. 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 the Ruby he is looking for a Feebas to sell to a man who is willing to play 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. While the contest hall collapses, he helps the shocked Ruby out of the hall.
