How to Swim in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Swimming lets you explore the sea around your island on Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

After buying a wetsuit, you will be able to explore the ocean and even dive.

Swimming and diving will allow you to start collecting various sea creatures that live under the waves, and you might even meet Pascal, the beaver.

Where to Buy Wetsuit

Before you can swim at New Horizons, you need to buy a wetsuit.

To be able to buy these clothes, go to your local Cranny Nook and look in the cabinet. There you will find a wetsuit which sells for 3,000 Bell.

You can also buy special Nook range diving suits by visiting the Nook Stop at Residential Services and selecting the ‘Redeem Nook Miles’ option.

The black and turquoise suit will make you return 800 Nook Miles and, like all Nook clothes, will arrive by mail the day after you buy it.

For an additional 500 Nook Miles, you can also buy snorkeling Nook Inc.
