"Sure you can swim, but if you end up in the ocean, how long could you last out there waiting for someone to come by and rescue you?"
How long could he tread water, that is. Because it's damned exhausting, even if a human body is more buoyant in salt water. The question's coming from a short teenage girl with too-bright blue hair (that doesn't seem to be dyed) and eyes that match, dressed in a blue-and-white dress with a broad-brimmed sun hat. She's mostly hanging out to see the new batch of new arrivals, in case there's anyone her age to hang out with. Ed gets her attention, though. Wasn't he here before? But he's acting like this is all new to him, and that means...
...well, she's not entirely certain what it means, but it's interesting.
