Swimming

Swimming is a form of movement that appears in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, and Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance.

Surface swimming appears in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance — essentially, the character will swim around in the water in a breast-stroke style. They cannot jump, so they must get to a shore in order to get out of the water. In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, surface swimming is the only kind of swimming available, and is only used at Neverland. However in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, swimming is also possible in the Mirage Arena match against Monstro. In Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, surface swimming is the only kind available and is only used in both Symphony of Sorcery and Traverse Town. In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Terra, Ventus, and Aqua can swim faster by holding and in Kingdom Hearts, after he learns Mermaid Kick, Sora can swim faster by holding.

In Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II, Sora can swim in all three-dimensions while in Merman Form at Atlantica.
