Swimming is one of the newest features in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and it’s a great way to explore the ocean around your island. Here are some steps to get started with swimming in the game:

Get a wetsuit:

Before you can swim, you’ll need a wetsuit. You can buy one from Nook’s Cranny or the Nook Shopping app on your NookPhone. Once you have a wetsuit, put it on by going into your inventory and selecting it.

Head to the beach:

Once you have your wetsuit on, head down to the beach. You’ll see a new area of the ocean that you can explore.

Jump in the water:

To jump into the water, walk up to the edge of the beach and press A. Your character will jump in and start swimming.

Dive underwater:

While swimming, you can dive underwater by pressing Y. This allows you to explore the ocean floor and search for sea creatures.

Catch sea creatures:

To catch sea creatures, swim up to them and press A. Your character will dive underwater and grab the creature. You can then add it to your collection or donate it to the museum.

Watch out for creatures:

While swimming, watch out for creatures like jellyfish and sea urchins. If you touch them, you’ll get stung and lose some health.

Swim back to shore:

When you’re ready to get out of the water, swim back to the beach and press A. Your character will climb out of the water and take off their wetsuit.

Swimming is a fun and relaxing way to explore the ocean around your island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. With these steps, you’ll be swimming like a pro in no time.
