With regards to swimming (lemme state I am not a swimmer at all!), I don't know, as the scene when SHP first arrive FI and seeing Luffy kicks water while looking on at Sanji enjoys swimming with the mermaids... Luffy's expression there kinda made me pity him a bit, and got me thinking about it (not able to swim due to DF curse) too...
