A human pretending the water is not trying to kill them.

means A person who propels themselves through water using coordinated strokes and kicks, by choice or necessity.

from From Old English 'swimman,' part of a deep Germanic family (related to German 'schwimmen' and Dutch 'zwemmen'), all tracing back to a prehistoric root meaning simply 'to move on or in water.' The word has barely changed its shape or job in over a thousand years — humans needed to name this act early, and 'swim' just stuck.
