What is an aquatic feline?

I dint find anything about aquatic felines in a Google search. I also could not find anything in the 6 books I own at a quick glance. I would assume it would be a feline that hunts in an aquatic environment since all cats can swim.

So I would say fisher cats(Prionailurus viverrinus) ,

flat-headed cats(Prionailurus planiceps),

Geoffroy's cats(Leopardus geoffroyi),

Tigers living in mangrove forests

How do you judge a swimmer who elects to swim the butterfly or any other stroke during a freestyle event?
