Swimming Speed determines how fast the player moves in water without the use of a Vehicle.
The base swimming speed without any modifiers is 3.5 m/s. The Swimming Speed remains identical both underwater and on the surface.
Modifiers
Throughout the game the player will encounter a series of movement speed modifiers which can increase their swimming speed. These include Equipment such as fins, as well as Biomods.
It is worth noting that modifiers that increase the Swimming Speed do not stack with each other, and the game will always utilize the modifier with the greatest speed. For example: If both the Wakemakers and Basic Fins are equipped, the Swimming Speed will remain at 6 m/s, and not increase to 6.5 m/s. Therefore currently the fastest Swimming Speed the player can have is achievable by using the Wakemakers.
List of Modifiers

| Basic Fins | 0.5 m/s | 4 m/s |
| Improved Fins | 1 m/s | 4.5 m/s |
| Sea Skimmer | 1.5 m/s | 5 m/s |
| Wakemaker | 2.5 m/s | 6 m/s |
