14. Can we swim in space? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Since you can already float in space, swimming in a blob of water wouldn't be much fun. The water won't stay in a pool in micro-gravity, so you would have to have a swimming room, and you would need to wear an oxygen mask so you could breathe. Now, swimming through a room of those plastic balls—that would be fun!
