How to swim in Animal Crossing?

After buying your new wet suit, you simply need to equip it and the gear will go right over the clothes you’re wearing. Next, you need to go to the ocean and tap ‘A’ to dive into the waters from the edge of the island. Once you’re in the ocean, you can swim around fairly freely while exploring a new marine life and going deep underwater. You will be able to find a bunch of sea creatures while you’re in the ocean. You can also look for some bubbling shadows and grab the creature by tapping the ‘Y’ button.

Similar to fish and bugs, you will be able to find a variety of sea creatures in the ocean based on the time and season. If you come across a Scallop and manage to grab it, Pascal the red otter will show up on the island and offer to trade you the Scallop in return for one of his mermaid-themed DIY recipes. All the new creatures and marine lives that you end up finding in the game can be donated to the museum curator Blathers.

You can leave the ocean and come out of the water by swimming up towards the sand on the beach. Once you get to the edge, your character will walk out on its own. You can now unequip your wetsuit to roll back into your regular clothes.
