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 [[Gym]]s. From Generations II through V, they were formatted as '''Swimmer♂''' and '''Swimmer♀'''.

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. From Generations II through V, they were formatted as Swimmer♂ and Swimmer♀.

When female Swimmers are paired with male Tubers in Double Battles, they are called Sis and Bros. Pairs of one male and one female Swimmer are known as Swimmers, while a pair of two female Swimmers is known as Swimmer Girls.

They specialize in Water-type Pokémon. In Sun and Moon, they keep their Pokémon in Dive Balls.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Red, Green & Blue arc

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.

Yellow arc

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. A Q&A section of the Netkun website once revealed this Swimmer's name as Akinori.

Pokémon
Akinori's Slowpoke
Slowpoke
Akinori was originally going to use Slowpoke for a surfing contest but broke his leg and lent it to Yellow instead. After the contest got interrupted and before the battle with Lance, Yellow returned Slowpoke to Akinori.

Slowpoke's only known move is Surf.

Debut Breath of the Dragonair Part 1

Ruby & Sapphire arc

A Feebas-hunting Swimmer appears in Not So Fetching 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 titans.

In the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc, he is seen reacting to news revealing that a meteoroid is going to crash into the planet.

As stated by Hidenori Kusaka in Volume 16's Author's Words, this Swimmer is Jack (Japanese: ヒデノリ Hidenori). He can be challenged in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and uses the same Pokémon. Like Fisherman Wilton before him, Jack shares his Japanese name with the manga's author.

Pokémon
Jack's Staryu
Staryu
Staryu was with Jack assisting him on the bait of luring Feebas as the fish Pokémon would have made him very rich.

None of Staryu's moves are known.

Debut Not So Fetching Feebas
Jack's Gyarados
Gyarados
Jack used this Gyarados (Japanese: ぎゃーとん Gyāton) to rescue Ruby from a giant flood that happened throughout Slateport City.

None of Gyarados's moves are known.

Debut The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon I

Black & White arc

A male Swimmer was seen amongst the Trainers entering Victory Road in Dream a Little Dream. In the following round he was shown with a Seismitoad but it was defeated by Leo's Deino.

Trivia

  • Because of the lack of female Swimmers, female Trainers encountered on water routes in Generation I are 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.
