Nemo sighs happily and ducks underwater. Perhaps understandably enough, he doesn't swim like a normal human; he keeps his arms close to his sides, waving his hands and forearms back and forth. He keeps his legs together and waves them as a unit, side to side, flutter-kicking with just his feet. Oddly enough, this inefficient technique seems to work quite as well as any crawl or butterfly stroke.
He surfaces a few minutes later, quite far out. His hair is sticking to his face, his clothes are soaking, but his eyes are alight.
"I'm swimming! I still remember how!" He splashes a little. "It's almost like I'm home!"
