To move faster in water in Ark: Survival Evolved, you can use SCUBA Flippers, which multiply your movement speed by 2.5x while underwater, although they reduce movement speed on land. Additionally, spending points on Oxygen also improves your swimming speed by roughly 1.2%, and all swimming speed bonuses are multiplied by the 2.5x swim speed effect of SCUBA Flippers.
