SUMMARY
Humans will swim slower in syrup compared to water due to the significantly higher viscosity of syrup, which increases friction against the swimmer's body. The discussion highlights that the resistance encountered in syrup impedes movement, making it more challenging to swim effectively. This conclusion is supported by basic principles of fluid dynamics, where higher viscosity fluids create greater drag on objects moving through them.
