Only if you can "jump" while in mid-water.

It should be noted that while most Sonic games do indeed show him unable to swim, this game's tutorials specifically tell you Sonic can't *breathe underwater*

[@apupthatdraws1001]

Well duh, most hedgehog can’t. However some hedgehogs can swim in the water by repelling with their limbs

[@CircusClownCarnival]

Why is there an underwater level then

[@magicpotion7252]

​@CircusClownCarnival the underwater levels are timed and heavily pressured levels, cause if you're underwater too long or without an airbubble then Sonic dies after a short countdown.

[@pointyorb]

I'm pretty sure most land animals can't breathe underwater. I can't breathe underwater.

if swimming requires breathing underwater, than no human is able to swim

Moving through a liquid: Swimming Moving through a gas: Flying Moving through a solid: Digging

[@yoshifan3611]

OBJECTION! It is impossible to move through a solid. Even when you are digging, with a shovel for instance, you are simply relocating the solid dirt and moving through the air, not moving through the solid directly.

[@DrRank]

​@@yoshifan3611Counterpoint: the same logic applies to swimming. The limits of the human language force us to say that you're "moving through the water", but what you're actually doing is moving the water out of the way by pushing against it.

[@skotiaH2O]

​@@yoshifan3611 HOLD IT! While you can't move through a solid, you _can_ move through a pile of small solid objects. Think of ball pits, or even just burying your feet in the sand!

[@toastr1255]

​@@yoshifan3611 The same is true of both swimming and flying. You can't physically occupy the same space, so "moving through" something means moving it around you as you travel through the space that it used to occupy
