So this aquatic Marisa was seemingly born out of nowhere.
When I entered the game, I found a crying pregnant yukkuri out in the balcony (I forgot what yukkuri type was it). So I picked it up without knowing that my hand was above the big aquarium. Suddenly, it gave birth to a very tiny koyukkuri...
furk you Bluesnow
... Obvious that the ko was dropped into the water tank, and floated as normally as any non-aquatic yukkuri trying to get to the surface.
But there was something strange. I threw away the mother and picked the baby up to examine it... the hat was on the wrong position!!!
Then I noticed something, the Swim level had 3 stars.
Man, I have to say that this is extremely rare, and I have never encountered it before.
I also fed it long enough to take this picture. :D
However, just like canon aquatic marisa, it can't swim underwater (but cannot drown, even when I take away the hat), and only hat-like or large accessories are suitable for swimming.
I also tried to replicate more aquatic marisa by force-breeding it, but all of its babies strangely didn't have the "gene".

Yukkuri taken by the sea all have 3 stars. Though a newely born ko that can swim isn't common.

Swimming is an acquired ability, so just drop your yukkuri in a pool and wait (healing her if needed). Due to some bug in an older version, I had both my Patche and Flan be trapped in one of the small aquariums in the seahouse, and now they both have 3 stars in swimming. Youmu wasn't so lucky, but maybe it was because I picked her up immediately.
