For an accurate inter- pretation of a swimming dream, all the details of water, weather, and other conditions, such as loca tion, etc., should be cor- related to the action, but as a general guide: if you dreamed of swimming in the nude, it predicts good luck in all that concerns you; to dream, of swim- ming in a suit suggests an upcoming social embarrass- ment or disappointment; and to teach someone to swim forecasts an increase in material wealth. To dream of swimming toward the shore prophesies secur- ity but only through dili- gent effort To swim in a pool is a warning of hidden hostility around you; a dream of observing others swimming is a sign of good luck in love if they were females, and good luck in business if they were males, and mixed fortunes if you saw both.

Dreams of diving, floating and swimming usually hint at your current emotional state or the need to tap into the resources of your unconscious mind.
If you are diving into water in your dream, this represents trying to find parts of yourself that have been repressed.
Dreams in which you are floating in warm water safely and calmly are amongst the most comforting and secure you can have. They may reflect a longing to be able to coast effortlessly through life, letting worries wash over you. But if you felt uneasy, such dreams may be mirroring your concern that you lack direction and power in waking life, and are just treading water as opportunities fly past you.
If you have a dream in which you are swimming calmly and happily through calm waters, this suggests a positive attitude to your waking life, as things are going well, or ‘swimmingly’, for you, and you feel in your element, be it at school, work or home. If, however, you dream that you are struggling against a current, it suggests inner conflict and the force of opinion against you in the waking world. In your dream, did you swim with the tide or continue with your struggle? If you found yourself out of your depth when you went swimming, this may mirror a sense of being out of your emotional depth. Drowning suggests that your emotions are overwhelming and engulfing you.
If a lifeboat appears, you believe your unconscious can throw you an emotional lifeline.
Where water is contained in a space, such as a bath or swimming pool, it signifies controlled emotion and restraint. A dream shower or bath in which you wash yourself may refer to a need to cleanse your emotions of negative influences, whilst a Jacuzzi may have sexual connotations. Being in a swimming pool may remind you of the importance of relaxation. A surreal underwater scene, in which you meet and interact with family and friends, may suggest that you have been too busy to take the time to connect emotionally with loved ones. It might be wise to slow down and devote more quality time to them in the real world.... diving / drowning / floating / swimming dream meaning
