Kara never actually learned how to swim after coming to earth. Not for lack of trying on Alex’s part, of course. She really wanted to get her sister out in the ocean with her, even thought about teaching her to surf. But the sweet little alien just sunk like a bag of rocks
No, to this day, Kara can’t actually swim. She just sorta figured out how to … fly … but in the water and fake it as best she can
When she and Lena visit the beach, Lena’s not sure whether to laugh or start performing physics calculations in the sand because, from what she can tell with the way Kara moves her limbs while swimming, she should literally be moving backwards
