slow swimmer

Unhurried pool user

A slow swimmer is someone who moves through water at a leisurely pace, whether due to skill level, physical limitation, or preference.

Pool lanes and swim classes often separate slow swimmers from faster ones: The slow swimmers stayed to the right.

The term can describe both humans and animals: Manatees are notoriously slow swimmers.
