Because normally when ships sail they start in a harbour near the sea. The sea is filled with salt witch allows it to float much easier when people swim the swim in a pool or river with no salt in it. I think.

Can you walk on quicksand?
I wouldn't recommend trying it, by definition. If you become trapped in quicksand the recommended action is to lie down as you will then float and it's supposedly possible to swim slowly out. Quicksand is just a sand / water mixture that may have an apparently firm surface.
How do you get out of quicksand?
you just float on your back because its mostly water, and you just "swim" out.

Yes, they can swim. Though I am not sure how often they do it, I did see one swim with it's body under the water surface. This is unlike a Cottonmouth that swims above the water surface.
Do you experience more pressure when you swim on the surface of water or under the surface?
Of course when you swim under the surface of the water. The lower you go in the water, the greater the pressure. That's why divers have gauges with them to determine their depth or to know how deep they are in the ocean.
When lightning strikes the the sea why don't all the fish die?
Before a lightning strike, a charge builds up along the water's surface. When lightning strikes, most of electrical charge occurs near the water's surface. Most fish swim below the surface and are unaffected.
