'''Swimmer''' is a [[Trainer class]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Description==
Swimmers are a type of Trainer class that specializes in the use of {{type|Water}}-[[type]] [[Pokémon (creature)|Pokémon]]. They are athletes always found swimming in a body of water. All male swimmers wear goggles and swim caps. In the [[Generation IV]] games, the male Swimmers wear swim trunks, but wear speedos in the original Japanese games.

Female Swimmers are distinctly known as "Bikini Ladies" in Japanese, and they first appear in [[Generation II]]. In the Japanese version of {{media|games|GS}}, female Swimmers are shown winking at the player.

==Trivia==
* In {{media|games|BW}}, a Female swimmer asked, "Are you here to see Cynthia in a swim-suit?"
* It is likely that the male swimmers are based on characters from ''[[wikipedia:Mendel Palace|Mendel Palace]]'', which had also been developed by [[Game Freak]].
* [[Generation IX]] is the only generation so far to not include the Swimmer trainer class.
