A '''Swimmer''' is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that 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 IV, they were formatted as '''Swimmer♂''' and '''Swimmer♀'''. They specialize in {{type|Water}} Pokémon. | A '''Swimmer''' is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that debuted in the [[Generation I]] games.
