This emoji doesn't just represent swimming as a hobby; it can also symbolize a professional swimmer in competitions like the Olympics. It can also be used to express the passion of diligently working toward a goal.

Early sports emojis were male-centric, but the 🏊‍♀️ emoji was added in line with the trend of respecting gender diversity. It's a small symbol of the positive change toward gender equality in sports and is also used to represent one of the events in a triathlon.
