* The quickest way to swim without the Turbo Nozzle is to perform a series of dives out of the water. You must jump out (vertically), and then dive forward (horizontally). Don't touch the joystick when you're tapping A to jump out, otherwise Mario will swim and not jump. But definitely hold the joystick full tilt when performing the dive, as it will carry you further through the air. This is tricky to understand and get the hang of initially, but is useful for any time you need to move across the surface of the water quickly (e.g. Piantissimo's Surf Swim).
