I assume you mean "and if"? Because I know multiple people who are very fat and/or big and yet can swim without issue.

...In fact, let me tell you something: Weight is meaningless underwater. Why do you think whales, who weight many times more than Gwyn, can swim without issue?

If he is afraid of drowning, it makes sense that would make him a terrible swimmer and thus sink fast. But if he's afraid of drowning because he sinks fast then it makes no sense, because being big and heavy doesn't mean you sink fast. ...IT'S NOT BECAUSE HE'S FAT! God, I with ten pounds more than him and don't sink. It's because he's dense with all that armor on, and I suppose his phobia after the tournament could have prevented him from learning how to swim. And yes I meant 'and.'
