I suggest this be unblocked, this could stand as its own sentence in one of its interpretations ("swim")

This means that this is another set of homonyms that could be interpreted more than one way. Both "Nothing." and "Swim. (imperative)" are valid translations of this, depending on context.
Originally, it was just "Nothing.", though.

This is part of what espamatics does sometimes: contribute Spanish words/sentences that might not seem like valid sentences, but actually are. Makes for good wordplay.

Actually, "ambiguous" might be a better tag IMO, even if its other interpretation isn't a full English sentence by Tatoeba standards.
