From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

A Swimmer is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. Originally, the only Swimmers to appear in-game were male—Swimmer ♂ (Japanese: かいパンやろう Swimsuit Guy)—but in Generation II, female swimmers, Swimmer ♀ (Japanese: ビキニのおねえさん Bikini Lady) were introduced. Swimmers are found in the sea, usually just off the coast, and in some Gyms. From Generations II through V, they were formatted as Swimmer♂ and Swimmer♀.

When female Swimmers are paired with male Tubers in Double Battles, they are called Sis and Bros. Pairs of one male and one female Swimmer are known as Swimmers, while a pair of two female Swimmers is known as Swimmer Girls.

They specialize in Water-type Pokémon. In Generation VII, they keep their Pokémon in Dive Balls.
