Definition

A bather is a person who is swimming or bathing, usually in a public place like a beach or pool.

Usage & Nuances

Mostly used in formal, news, or descriptive contexts, not in daily conversation. Common at beaches, pools, or spas. Not the same as 'swimmer'—a 'bather' may be just relaxing in the water, not actively swimming. Rarely used about people bathing at home.
