I think it might depend on the distance and type of water you're in, I could be wrong. I had a sim doing the usual swim animation over shallow water near her water villa but when I instructed her to swim out to a deep water buoy she changed to freestyle where the water got deeper (where you can't see through to the corals). She was only about 3-4 level fitness. I assumed it was like how sims choose to walk or jog depending how far away their destination is.
