The word “SWIMS” will remain “SWIMS” even after you turn it upside down.
Those type of words are called ambigrams.
Ambigrams can be words, art forms, or other symbolic representations whose elements retain meaning even when viewed or interpreted from different directions, perspectives, or orientations.
Can you think of other word ambigrams?

The word ambigram has a fun sound, but I can’t think of any examples. I’ve never come across the word before, despite seeing designs and tattoos which exhibit the meaning you give above. I’ll just have to go and look some up now! 😀
