Castle Swimmer is a fantasy webcomic created by artist Wendy Lian Martin. The comic is a fantasy romance set in a fictional underwater world that follows the lives of the mermaids Kappa and Siren. It began publishing weekly on the platform WEBTOON in 2019.

Castle Swimmer is a fantasy romance set in a fictional and magical underwater world that follows the adventures of the shark prince, Siren, and the Beacon, Kappa. [4] The comic explores each of the character's stories both together and separately as both grapple with destiny and the implications of their duty to their people and the world. [5] Episodes are often based around adventures in the magical underwater world and deal with themes of culture, generational trauma, duty, destiny, and balancing what you owe yourself vs. what you owe others. [6]
The plot begins with The Beacon, Kappa, being drawn to Siren's city by the next destiny he is obligated to fulfill. [7] As the Beacon, Kappa is pulled from one kingdom to the next to fulfill their prophecies and improve their lives, but in the Shark Kingdom Kappa learns their prophecy involves Siren slaying The Beacon to free his people from a curse. [6] Although Kappa seems ready to accept his fate, Siren realizes he can't kill another living creature and the two of them begin to form a romantic relationship while Kappa is waiting to be executed. [8] The plot expands into both characters eventually parting ways and undertaking their own journeys to find a way to escape their shared destiny. [4]
The following characters are central to plot lines in the comic and make regular appearances:
In 2019 Comics Beat reported Castle Swimmer had 58 million views and was Webtoon's fourteenth most popular comic. [9] In July 2021 it had a weekly subscription audience of about two million. [2]
