Which Voyager characters can swim and which cannot?

[BohandiAnsoid]

While writing my fanfiction, I began wondering if Kes can swim. And then, I thought if any of the Voyager characters can swim. Since I cannot come to any conclusions on my own, I would like to ask you this.

 

[The Wormhole]

I began wondering if Kes can swim.

She was born underground on a desert planet. Probably never had the opportunity to learn.

I thought if any of the Voyager characters can swim

Most of the characters probably had swimming covered in their Starfleet training. The Doctor likely doesn't, as Zimmerman wouldn't have seen a need to program swimming ability into him, given he was intended to spend his time in sickbay. Seven can probably swim as I imagine the Borg assimilated someone who can swim at some point. Neelix, probably not. Prior to being on Voyager a bathtub was the most water he'd been exposed to.

The Ocampa had plenty of water.

If you want them to swim In your story, then they can swim. It isn’t rocket science

This would basically be my answer, though Neelix made a resort program with hydrosailing and he did security training, so he probably learned to swim fairly early. Maybe Naomi hasn't been taught yet though.

I think that the Paxau Resort, with its swimming opportunities, was available.

So, my guess? All of them can.
