[why you gotta make me look up swimming my bro i never learned how either]

It's a physics puzzle is what it is. Balancing motion and buoyancy. [Them wings sure do still help though. It's kinda more like a weird doggy paddle, but he eventually splashes his way on over to the side of the pool and hefts himself up, sitting with his feet in the water.]

Y'know, supposedly it's a sort of innate thing babies know? Probably from literally forming in a watery environment. Not that I'm saying throw babies in water, but that's a thing some people do, and it turns out pretty okay.

...So I suck more than a baby, is what I'm saying.
