"Swim bully" refers to an individual who exerts pressure, coercion, or employs bullying tactics to persuade or force someone into swimming, despite their reluctance or refusal to do so.

The term underscores the specific context of swimming, highlighting the unique social dynamics and pressures that can occur in aquatic environments.
