I wonder
Is it cold in here?:
The hard part of swimming in mercury would be to get any part of your body below the surface.

Some of these tubes were larger than 55 gallon drums; control rectifiers for pumped storage power plants, etc. There were open 55 gallon drums of mercury around to fill them. One of the tour demos was to see if you were able to completely immerse your arm in a drum of mercury. I remember the feeling of almost being lifted off the ground by the buoyancy of my arm deep in the barrel.

Gold coins would be denser, but (duh) less fluid, so maybe you could "immerse" yourself.

I kind of wonder if it would be a good diving practice medium. Person dives in, shoots out with almost the same kinetic energy...that would probably be bone-crushingly awesome.
Literally.

Or worse...blunt force trauma bellyflop.
I'd hate to see that as "Cause" on a death certificate...actually, if I saw that on a death certificate, they'd have to kick me out because I'd never stop laughing. XD

I've never got the appeal of this, or wrestling in beans or mud or anything like that. Any time I've seen it, it just makes me want to have a hot shower with lots of shampoo.
