Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions
The tag alias #46985 swimmer -> swimming has been rejected.
Reason: "swimmer" does not carry any additional information compared to "swimming". If there is swimming, there must be a swimmer. If there is a swimmer, they are swimming (and if the character is not swimming, they can't be called a swimmer).
Also: swimmers -> swimming
EDIT: The tag alias swimmer -> swimming (forum #294853) has been rejected by @Millcore.

Any thought on the posts currently tagged with swimmer -swimming? If they look like a swimmer, is that enough to tag them (similar to, say, nurse)?
I think this probably falls into a similar kind of distinction that we have with racing and race, which had a similar alias rejected about a week ago: topic #26479
For "swimmer -swimming" posts, I think most of those should just be tagged swimwear instead. Just because they are dressed in swimwear doesn't mean they are a swimmer, and if they aren't swimming then we can't say they are swimmers by TWYS.

Agreed, swimmer should probably only apply to characters wearing specialized suits for low drag, or otherwise evident that they are a professional/competitive swimmer (like post #711641). Although that only leaves 13 swimmers and that's being generous about speedos.
