"To Swim Like a Shark" is an advanced variation of the Suimen Hokō no Gyō technique. As an essential skill for Kirigakure shinobi, it is taught from an early age. By taking the same principle of using chakra as a repellent force as in Suimen Hokō no Gyō, a user will be able to "skate" across the water at varying speeds, depending on the amount of chakra used.

Another application of this technique is its use while underwater. By using their chakra as a repellent to the water with their feet as well as their hands they will be able to move through the water with greater fluidity. Highly skilled Chūnin and Jōnin are able to swim through the water with the mobility of a shark.

"Deep Sea Breathing" is a fundamental skill required for all Kirigakure shinobi to learn, and as such it is taught early in the Academy. The training starts off with breathing exercises that strengthen the lungs and allow them to retain more oxygen. The following step is to implement the use of chakra to ration the amount of oxygen in the body to allow for extended periods under the water.

Because of the nature of the training it takes years to fully make use of this technique, and even longer to actually master. Skilled Chūnin and Jōnin are able to hold their breath for periods ranging from ten to fifteen minutes. The longest known use of this skill was just over twenty minutes.

"Water Prison Technique" is a Ninjutsu technique that utilizes water to imprison an opponent.

When combined with a bunshin technique, the ninja can imprison their target but still allow for a clone to attack others nearby.
