      Hi @crazy
      I don’t think so, because without gravity I don’t think water would collect in pools the way it does on earth, so you couldn’t swim. Also, when you’re in water it’s a combination of the water pushing you up and gravity pulling you down that makes you able to float, so that wouldn’t work either.

      Hope this answers your question.
