The word swimmers is used in anti-vaccination internet communities to refer to anyone who has been vaccinated against COVID-19.

The origins of the use of swimmers in this context are unclear. However, it is an example of algospeak, which is the abbreviation, deliberate misspelling, or substitution of words in order to bypass automated content moderation systems.
