In 1883, the physicist Osborne Reynolds figured out that there is one simple number that can predict how a
fluid
will behave.
It's called the Reynolds number, and it depends on simple properties like the size of the swimmer, its speed, the density of the fluid, and the stickiness, or the viscosity, of the
fluid.
