The mechanics of swimming have changed several times over the course of the series history. Commonalities include having the characters able to move about freely, using a limited move-set or the [[Water Gun]] to attack, and having scuba gear on while underwater. The main limitation comes from Kirby's inability to [[Inhale]] unaided while underwater (though one exception exists). Swimming characters are not at risk of drowning (again, with one exception), and can remain underwater indefinitely. [[:Category:Aquatic enemies|Some enemies]] are capable of surviving in water, but most will immediately drown and burst upon contact with it.

In most games, Kirby gains a pair of goggles when he is underwater (with some also giving him a snorkel). Starting with ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', whenever Kirby paddles on the surface of water, he obtains an inner tube.

However, in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', Kirby doesn't gain a pair of goggles when he goes in the water due to him paddling on the surface of water. Instead, he's mostly seen in his inner tube every time he goes in the water.
