probally fresh because no salt in mouth or eyes
addition:

Why is it easier to swim in seawater than in river water?
It is easier to float, in any case, because salt water has a greater density.
Why is it easier to swim in sea water then in fresh water?
Because there is salt in sea water and salt makes you float better so is easier to swim.
Why it is easier to swim in sea water as compared to fresh water?
You are more buoyant in salt water than in fresh water, so it takes less energy just to stay afloat, making it easier to swim.
Why is it easier to swim in salty water than in pure water?
Salt water is denser that fresh water, so a swimmer (and ships) float higher in saltwater.
How do they get to swim in fresh water?
if they are naturally used to fresh water
Is it quicker to swim in salt water or fresh water?
Salt water has a slightly higher density, so it will be a little quicker to swim in fresh water.
Does ocean water has a lower freezing point than pure water does?
Yes it is easier to swim in seawater because it contains salt which has a lesser density than water
Is it possible to change the density of water in order to swim faster in this waterfluid Or slightly different put is there any liquid or substance that is easier to swim in than water?
It is easier to swim in salt water. Fresh water of 10 degrees Celsius has a density of 999.728 kilograms per cubic meter. Seawater of 10 degrees Celsius and of 3.5 % salinity has a density of 1026.978 kilograms per cubic meter. It is easier to floatin salt water because it has a higher density. Your strokes will create more force against the higher density, but the higher density will also cause more resistance to your body's forward movement. Without doing a scientific study, I would imagine this would allow you to swim faster and with less effort in fresh water. You would probably move faster through a liquid that was less dense, but if it is too ?undense? your movement would be down, not forward!
Did the nothosaurus swim in fresh water or salt water?
salt water
