I'll eat almost anything.

Which Voyager characters can swim and which cannot?

Harry can float, that's why he's never promoted -- the extra pips will weigh him down just enough to push him under, like a sponge on Mr. Burns' head in a bathtub.
Funny how completely effective the showrunners were at making Harry look so totally hapless, just by passing him over for promotion.
In canon, Harry is highly intelligent, very athletic, and a model officer. Even that reprimand on his record could easily be wiped if he challenged it (he was in a mentally altered state). I don't think he was swimming team material because he has kind of a sturdy build (and the best swimmers are slender). But I expect he swims just fine.

I am here. I just reduced my general activity here.
That was one of the weirdest parts of early Voyager. I can accept the Ocampa homeworld having little to no surface water due to sci-fi reasons but they made it seem like water was rare in the entire region of space. Neelix thought a tub full of water was a luxury? How? He owns a warp capable ship and knows many species and M-class planets yet he goes nuts because he can submerge his body in water?
The Jupiter moon Europa which is smaller than our moon has more water than earth and that's just one tiny rock in our own solar system, there's so much water out there that would be available to us without even firing up a warp drive that it simply doesn't make sense it would be worth anything. Even the Kazon on the Ocampa homeworld should be able to hop into their ships after breakfast, take a 10 minute flight to some moon full of liquid water or grab an icy asteroid and have it melted to fill up the reservoir in time for lunch.
Oddish, I tend to avoid comment sections nowadays, for a few reasons.
1. Nitpicking (oftentimes, of the inane/petty variety).
2. Vulgarity/low-brow discourse.
3. Tenuous political references (which, like the nitpicking, tends to be inane/petty) typically of the dehumanizing variety.
4. General discourtesy.
Rarely do I encounter an individual worth the hassle of plunging into those waters.

We aim to please. 
I advocate for all characters who deserved a promotion and didn't get one. Harry was the most egregious example, but there are others.
