Darksiders 3.

It's less like swimming and more like flying.
This is pretty much the common factor in games I've thought had particularly good swimming. The other style is the "hold up/spacebar to rise, release to drop" style where it's basically normal movement otherwise like in Outer Wilds or Marathon.

Yeah, but "flying as swimming" is more of a band-aid than a real solution

Because it isn't swimming, it's flying but "underwater".

As far as 3D platformers go I think Spyro 2 and 3 are pretty solid. Certainly not as sluggish as most similar games.
A better camera would have helped. But the water levels were pretty fun.

Donkey Kong Country did it alright.

Definitely among the best. The swimming isn't slow, the levels are good, you can ride a freaking swordfish, and the music is top notch.

The Mega Man games do good with water, too, though I think there's only one (Mega Man 8) where you actually "swim." The rest you just walk/run a bit slower and you jump a lot higher.

Bosses are immune to the eat command so it won't be possible to end the final boss fight of the game by eating it.

Majora's Mask is the obvious one, but shoutouts to Oblivion for the hilarious water hopping perk.

Yep, easily the best implementation of underwater movement in any game.
