Revision as of 15:23, 30 September 2010
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 Adventures manga, some swimmers debuted as early as the first volume, 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 Yellow arc, where he broke a leg before a surfing contest and lent Yellow his Slowpoke.
Finally, a Feebas-hunting Swimmer appears in PS206, 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 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. He also helps rescue a blind boy who was assigned to read the braille containing the secret to unlocking the Regis by Steven.
