Flippers
Flippers are a tool that allows the player to swim across water and travel more easily to the different parts of the island. It is unlocked by the "Finding Flippers" quest.
Flippers do not allow the player to dive — diving requires the 
Snorkel to be unlocked.

Usage
The Flippers are automatically put in use as soon as the player acquires them. They cannot be selected in the toolbar. They allow the player to move across the surface of any body of water using the same controls as walking/running.
The player can also swim across lava pools with 
Retsuko's 
"Hot Stuff" (friendship level 19) Companion Ability.
Hangyodon's 
"Speed Swimmer" (friendship level 5) Companion Ability can boost both diving speed and swim speed. Alternatively, the player can use the 
Deep Diving Potion or 
Speedy Swimming Potion for the same respective buffs.
Fast Flippers Upgrade
The 
Fast Flippers crafting recipe will randomly spawn when the player uses their 
Watering Can to water a 
Rainfall Flower. The upgrade allows the player to swim significantly faster.
