Background

The Dolphin's Grace effect is a status effect that increases your swimming speed. In Java Edition, players will get the Dolphin's Grace status effect. However, in Bedrock Edition (which consists of Pocket Edition, Windows 10 Edition, Xbox One Edition, PS4, Nintendo Switch Edition) players will experience increased swimming speed without the Dolphin's Grace status effect appearing.

There are levels of Dolphin's Grace such as Dolphin's Grace II, Dolphin's Grace III, Dolphin's Grace IV and so on. The higher the level of Dolphin's Grace, the faster you will swim underwater.
